Revert the behavior change in #477 which caused our HTTP client to determine the type (i.e. JSON or not) of a response based on the response headers. In theory this is an ok thing to do, but some edge cases have been reported where the response headers have been incorrect or not present -- in any case, they are not the most reliable.
This PR reverts HTTP response handing to our old behavior, which is to use the
format
query param to determine the response format for GET requests. POST and DELETE requests assume the response is always JSON (we don't have any endpoints that go against this assumption).Closes #526
