What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a GET request to https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/auth/1/session
2. Run the request with the default Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8

What is the expected output?
Expected status code 200

What do you see instead?
Received status code 406
415 Unsupported Media Type

On what operating system, browser and browser version?
Gentoo Linux 3.4.4
Chromium 23.0

Please provide any additional information below.
I have tested with REST Console.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rest-console/cokgbflfommojglbmbpenpphp

There I have tried different "Accept" headers.
Accept: application/json - received code 200
Accept: text/html - received code 406

Please introduce custom "Accept" header

You can install REST Console and try it for different "Accept" request headers:

It appears like I have missed the "Headers" section of the application.
While the POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS methods have the custom 
"Content-Type" drop-down menu field which I used to specify "application/json" 
type, it is not available for the GET and HEAD methods, that's what I have 
meant.
But there is the actual "Headers" section where one can type the "Accept" and 
"Content-Type" headers manually.
I was just confused with the GUI, so this issue is rather about the layout.

In new version that I'm working on right now, there will be no content-type 
section below payload form. I agree that it may confusing some people and it is 
not so important.
