With NIOS version 8.2 of the Infoblox, Foreman 1.16 and gem version 0.0.6, while an A record is created during host provisioning, results are not properly reported either to the Smart Proxy by the plugin and/or to Foreman by the Smart Proxy.

HTTP traffic between the Smart Proxy and Foreman appears as follows:

While Foreman probably shouldn't throw an error on an empty body when it receives a 200 OK status code, the plugin should also probably be sending back some sort of JSON content in the body reporting the successful creation.
