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
