Subject: Default content-type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded at the top
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.2a1~496
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dd47ec98e2030c51b78ddf18a5765cad8bdc642d;p=python

Default content-type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded at the top
level of a form.  This means that browsers that omit the content-type
header when sending a POST command aren't penalized so heavily.
