1206,"""Content-Type json"" header scuppers package POST",dread,wwaites,"Compare these two requests to create a package:
{{{
curl http://test.ckan.net/api/rest/package -d '{name:""test""}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-CKAN-API-KEY: tester'
curl http://test.ckan.net/api/rest/package -d '{name:""test""}' -H 'X-CKAN-API-KEY: tester'
}}}
The second one gets the payload through (ckan log):
{{{
Retrieving request params: UnicodeMultiDict([('{name:""test""}', u'')])
}}}
But the first one causes a ServerError because the payload (name:""test"") doesn't make it to request.POST or request.params:
{{{
Retrieving request params: UnicodeMultiDict([])
}}}
The only difference is the ""ContentType: application/json"" header, which seems a reasonable thing to include. Javascript lib backbone.js (for example) inserts this automatically.

So why does this header cause the payload to not get through to the request object?",defect,closed,critical,,ckan,fixed,,rgrp,ckan,none
