Puppet

Here is a capture of the client putting marshal first on the accept line but the body of the post is in Yaml. The server exception it causes is at the bottom. If the client wants a certain format should it be able to PUT data in a different format? Or should the client be required to always receive data in the same format that it used to send data?
