Description of problem:

System is unable to unregiter via older subcription-manager (probably < 0.96)

On RHEL 5.7:

1. subscription-manager unregister
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/handlers.py", line 71, in emit
   if self.shouldRollover(record):
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/handlers.py", line 149, in shouldRollover
   msg = "%s\n" % self.format(record)
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 617, in format
   return fmt.format(record)
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 405, in format
   record.message = record.getMessage()
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/logging/__init__.py", line 272, in getMessage
   msg = str(self.msg)
   AttributeError: RemoteServerException instance has no attribute 'args'
   Remote server error. Please check the connection details, or see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information.

On RHEL 6.1 the output was different, but the issue on the server was the same.

In server production.log

Error occurred while parsing request parameters.
Contents:

NoMethodError (undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass):
lib/middleware/catch_json_parse_errors.rb:9:in `call'

From the investigation it seems that rhsm sends some whitespaces instead of empty body which causes parsing error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite 6 6.0.4
Client: RHEL 5.7
subscription-manager-0.95.5.21-1.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cold install 5.7 or 6.1
2. install bootstrap RPM from satellite server (http://sat6.example.com/pub/katello-ca-consumer-sat6.example.com-1.0-1.noarch.rpm)
3. subscription-manager register
4. subscription-manager unregister

Actual results:
Traceback (see above)

Expected results:
Information that the system was unregistered
