Public bug reported:

There are certain routes like /v2.0/certificates/ca that return PEM
files that do not return the standard choice of JSON or XML data. If you
request these routes with XML in the Accept field (like if you hit it
with a browser) then the XML middleware will kick in and assume that,
like other requests, it needs to load it as json then convert it to xml.

This is obviously wrong. We should only be doing XML processing if we
understand the content we are trying to convert, and it is better to
return something that is not on the Accept list than return an error (in
JSON no less).
