The audit function of 9ABE sets no
content-typeto trigger a 4xx status code.However, it also sets no request body, which can also trigger a 4xx status code as per A5BF.
This can lead to false positives for this audit check if a server only responds with 4xx because of the missing request body, but not because of the missing
content-typeheader.This PR updates 9ABE to include a valid request body to ensure the 4xx status is triggered based on the missing
content-typeheader. Additionally, I updated 9ABE from MAY to SHOULD to match the relevant part of the spec.
