11371	Unable to put non-MULTIPART_CONTENT data in method django.test.Client.put()	vorushin	Johann Heller	"I started to write tests for my RESTful web service, written in Django. 
I use django.test.Client for making HTTP requests. 
GET and POST methods works all right, but I didn't find any options to send non-MULTIPART_CONTENT data in PUT request. 

My code is: 
{{{
from django.test import TestCase 
from django.utils.http import urlencode 
class UsersTest(TestCase): 
        def test_registration_and_management(self): 
                response = self.client.put('/users/1234567/', 
                    urlencode({'password': '', 'wrong_attempts': 100}, doseq=True), 
                    content_type='application/x-www-form-urlencoded') 
                self.failUnlessEqual(response.status_code, 200) 
                self.assertContains(response, 'raw_password') 
}}}

When I launch tests (via python manage.py test), I receive error: 
{{{
  File ""/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ 
python2.6/site-packages/django/test/client.py"", line 370, in put 
    'QUERY_STRING':   urlencode(data, doseq=True) or parsed[4], 
  File ""/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/ 
python2.6/site-packages/django/utils/http.py"", line 42, in urlencode 
    for k, v in query], 
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack 
}}}

Problems seems to be in Client.put method, file django.test.client.py: 
{{{
    def put(self, path, data={}, content_type=MULTIPART_CONTENT, 
            follow=False, **extra): 
        """""" 
        Send a resource to the server using PUT. 
        """""" 
        if content_type is MULTIPART_CONTENT: 
            post_data = encode_multipart(BOUNDARY, data) 
        else: 
            post_data = data 
        parsed = urlparse(path) 
        r = { 
            'CONTENT_LENGTH': len(post_data), 
            'CONTENT_TYPE':   content_type, 
            'PATH_INFO':      urllib.unquote(parsed[2]), 
            'QUERY_STRING':   urlencode(data, doseq=True) or parsed[4], 
            'REQUEST_METHOD': 'PUT', 
            'wsgi.input':     FakePayload(post_data), 
        } 
        r.update(extra) 
        response = self.request(**r) 
        if follow: 
            response = self._handle_redirects(response) 
        return response 
}}}

If I change line 
{{{
'QUERY_STRING':   urlencode(data, doseq=True) or parsed[4], 
}}}
to
{{{ 
'QUERY_STRING':  parsed[4], 
}}}
everythings works all right in my case. Client.post() method uses the same technology (no urlencode, only parsed[4]). "		closed	Testing framework	dev		fixed		sanfordarmstrong@… johann@…	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
