[occi-wg] Validating the Cloud on, well, the Cloud

[Ralf Nyren]

Nice work!

Ran the tests on my occi-py demo and got some unexpected failures. Thijs  
standalone test-program works fine.

I did some digging and it appears some of the tests does not properly  
specify 'Accept: text/occi' where header rendering is expected. text/plain  
is the default now. Just to verify I changed back to text/occi as the  
default in my demo and then the tests went through.
