API PUT returns 204 No Content response but has a content type

Question

I'm performing a PUT request (to update a custom field) on JIRA Software Server, the update is performed but the response hangs for 60+ seconds. It seems that although the response is 204 No Content the response header content type is set to application/json which causes the user agent to wait for content. The vendor (IBM) claim that this behavior (from the JIRA API) is incorrect and a 204 response should not have a content type set. Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks
