What this PR does / why we need it:
PR #4845 changed the return type of error messages from plain text to JSON.
This PR was actually fixing a problem with the current API which returns plain text and sets a
Content-Type
header ofapplication/json
but then returns plain text. The problem is it's significantly changing the behavior of the API which should be considered a breaking change and we should wait to do this at the next major release.It's entirely possible anyone who's implemented their own code against the Loki API are expecting the error messages in their current format and even though this is a "fix" it would break those users so we want to wait to do this until a future major release.
