post 415 error in 1.0

[Deistl Ross]

When attempting a "post" (not a bulk) in 1.0, a 415 error is returned. Setting 
the request header to "application/json" did nothing to solve the issue. Of 
course the same code worked fine in earlier couchdb builds.  I'm sure there is 
an easy solution for this, and I thought the request header change would do the 
trick, but I'm out of ideas.
