Comment:
This same thing happens in 1.4:
{{{
File "/usr/local/lib/Django1.4/django/core/handlers/modpython.py", line
56, in _get_request
self._request = datastructures.MergeDict(self.POST, self.GET)
File "/usr/local/lib/Django1.4/django/core/handlers/modpython.py", line
69, in _get_post
self._load_post_and_files()
File "/usr/local/lib/Django1.4/django/http/_init_.py", line 353, in
_load_post_and_files
if self.META.get('CONTENT_TYPE', '').startswith('multipart'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'
Request repr() unavailable.
}}}
You can easily test it by writing a test that sends a POST without the
CONTENT_TYPE header:
{{{
def test_missing_content_type(self):
// Will throw an exception:
response = self.client.post('/url/', {}, HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE=None,
follow=True)
}}}
