request.content_type is not set to None for form_encoded data

The documentation shows how to use request.content_type to detect whether the data is available in the django QueryDicts - POST/PUT or in request.data according to the reqyest.content_type.

While it should be set to None, for most form submissions there is a content-type set - application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which results into request.content_type not being set to None.

Attached is a patch that takes care of setting the value to None correctly.

Imported, thank you.

Hi, sometimes form submissions also put the charset into the request content-type, like:

application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8

The attached trivial patch takes care of this.

Issue #52 was marked as a duplicate of this issue.

Updated patch which also takes into consideration #52

Fixed patch attached...

Thanks. I'll import these later today.

I also ran into this issue today and came to supply a patch but it appears someone has already beat me to it. :)

Bump!

It seems to me, that this problem still persist. Attached is a patch.
