Description
In "TestRegistration/parallel/POST_{}_returns_a_set_of_flows" the test strictly required application/json. It's common for many servers to return also a charset in the content type, which is valid according to HTTP. However, complement considers this as a failure which I discovered while testing https://github.com/MTRNord/persephone :)
