I have a small program that daily does some work on the groups of my Discourse installation, and to do that it starts by fetching all the groups using the json API:

`GET https://disc.uaar.it/admin/groups.json?api_key=xxxx&api_username=xxx`

Suddenly a few days ago this call stopped working. Now I get a 200 response code (the login is OK, and there is no error in the logs), but the response is empty and its content type is text/plain.

I’m running v1.9.0.beta5 +8, but I cannot check if this happened at the same time as an upgrade, because the system admin is on vacation 😛

Any thoughs?
