This was added in 93c3e6c91e, at which time only
some basic handling of non-succesful status codes was present;
93c3e6c91e/api/client/utils.go (L112-L121)
Given that since 38e6d474af non-successful status-
codes are already handled, and a 204 ("no content") status should not be an error,
this special case should no longer be needed.
