body params always required

[timruffles]

why? Doesn't make any sense to me.

This is the current definition of swagger-spec with the assumption that if an operation expects a body, then it's mandatory. This does not mean the body cannot be empty should the model definition allow it.

If you feel strongly that this should not be this way, feel free to open an issue on swagger-spec if you feel strongly that it should be different, but please include a use case for your suggestion.

@webron i actually don't think that's true, body params should be optional:

https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-spec/blob/master/versions/1.2.md#524-parameter-object

The fix is easy, but to avoid breaking the signature, i'm going to append the required variable to the end of the chain :-/

@fehguy - I believe it was an April fool's joke. That's the only explanation I can think as to why I made that statement as it is obviously wrong and we both know that doesn't make sense when it comes to me.
