Cannot delete hosts that are also chef nodes

Support
1

I have Foreman 1.9.0 installed with foreman-chef 0.1.7 and chef 12
Enterprise on a separate server. I am using MS DHCP and MS DNS smart
proxies on a separate windows server. When attempting to delete a node, I
get an error: ERF12-4348 [ForemanChef::ProxyException]: Unable to
communicate with Chef proxy, ERF12-0944 [ForemanChef::ProxyException]:
Unable to communicate with Chef proxy, 500 Internal Server Error

Deploying a host on VMware also adds the foreman node so the proxy
connection seems to work just fine.

The DNS entry gets deleted. The DHCP reservation does not get removed. The
Chef Node does not get removed. The Host does not get removed.

This was due to not having sufficient privileges in chef for the client I
was using to connect via the smart proxy. Now I am running into:
Can't delete host because of "A JSON text must at least contain two octets!"

The host deletes,

Hello,

this is reported as [1] and will be fixed in next release of smart_proxy_chef (I expect it to land together with new foreman_chef during this week).

[1] Bug #11695: Can't delete host because of "A JSON text must at least contain two octets!" - Chef - Foreman

Chef Node does not get removed. The Host does not get removed.
