## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Call the delete workpackage API with the method DELETE and omit the content-type header

### What is the buggy behavior?

The endpoint responds with http status 406 Not Acceptable - Missing content-type header

### What is the expected behavior?

DELETE requests should not have a request body and some request implementations even strip away the body on request execution. Although no body is sent, the API insists on getting a content type header.

The request should be executed without the content type header
