/beta/work-items endpoints response header defaults to application/octet-stream instead of application/json

A weird quirk with the /beta/work-items APIs in general: unless you explicitly set the Accept request header to application/json, the Content-Type of the response is application/octet-stream. This breaks Pretty formatting in Postman and could theoretically impact HTTP libraries parsing the response. I haven’t personally seen this behavior on any other beta or v3 APIs.

Thanks for submitting this Nathan. I have opened a ticket to fix this bug (IDNDENALI-9534)
