Hi, I'm writing some tests using the Django test client for a REST API. This API uses the PUT method and I'm running into problems with the test client, as it appears to wish to URL encode the data into the query string.
Code is:
r = self.client.put('/json/api/endpoint', json.dumps(params),
content_type='application/json')
and the error is "ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack" from
urlencode() in http.py
Since the data is JSON encoded it needs to go a Content-Type:
application/json in the body, without any further processing. If the put
method is replaced with the post method all works fine - the client leaves
the content alone and just puts it into the body.
The code paths in test.client.Client.put and test.client.Client.post are
different and I don't understand why - the docs (and my understanding of
HTTP) is that they should behave exactly the same in terms of entity
encoding.
Am I missing something, or is this just a bug?
Cheers,
Malcolm
