`/logout` does not take a request body, which is inconsistent #1845

Open reivilibre opened 3 months ago

Other PUT and POST requests except for media upload take a JSON request body, even if that's just {}.

For some reason /logout is an exception to this, although it's not clear why or whether this is just an accident.

I think it's an accident. The original synapse impl just didn't check if there was a body, and then clients started relying on that.
