Fix for POST/PUT/PATCH calls without bodies

[igorsantos07]

Those calls may be made only with path or query params, and still they fail validation because JSON refuses to decode an empty string.

By the way, by reading Restler::getRequestData() I see that DELETE calls do not accept body params? I know this seems uncommon, but is it correct? An API might want to include further filters in the body to allow the deletion to happen.

Think this patch is stale as this fix is in 3.1.0 -

Restler/vendor/Luracast/Restler/Format/JsonFormat.php

Line 129 in 9dae9a4

public function decode($data)

:

public function decode($data)
{
    if (empty($data)) {
        return null;
    }

You are right @richardeaxon!

Ok, so....

1. I guess this should be reopened so I can redirect the PR into 2.2 branch, as this was an issue I had at the time.
2. Is there a 3.x stable version already? Why isn't it documented anywhere? I thought the project was pretty much dead!

@igorsantos07 reopened the pull request. Yes 3.1 is stable and I didn't do a good job documenting it that way.

Also, there is a newer version of restler at https://github.com/Arul-/reactive-restler which will be brought to this repository soon!

@igorsantos07 can you change it to point to v2 branch?
