Description

Under Rails 5.0, two HostsControllerTest tests fails:

HostsControllerTest#test_0037_if only authorize_login_delegation is set, REMOTE_USER should be
            ignored for API requests [test/controllers/hosts_controller_test.rb:617]:
    Expected response to be a &lt;2XX: success&gt;, but was a &lt;401: Unauthorized&gt;

When making a JSON format request followed by a request with no explicit format, Rails 5 is now memorising that it's requesting application/json instead of resetting to HTML or similar.

This is not a bug in Rails 5, as it shouldn't be assumed that the state will be reset between requests in a single test case: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/33db42168425866b714203e35a3a36693983b3f9

The format should be set explicitly or moved into separate tests with a common setup.
