**Before:**
```
WARNING - POST-11 - Unable to parse JSON: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) (b'')
```
**After:**
```
WARNING - POST-11 - Unable to parse JSON from POST /_matrix/client/v3/join/%21ZlmJtelqFroDRJYZaq:hs1?server_name=hs1 response: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) (b'')

It's possible to figure out which endpoint these warnings were coming from before but you had to follow the request ID `POST-11` to the log line that says `Completed request [...]`. Including this key information next to the JSON parsing error makes it much easier to reason whether it matters or not.

As a note, having no `body` is normal for the `/join` endpoint and it can handle it.

Alternatively we could remove these extra logs but they are probably more usually helpful to figure out what went wrong.
