14753	Accessing (Get)HttpRequest.raw_post_data in view results in exception during testing	Piotr Czachur	nobody	"(Confirmed with Django trunk r14680)

This happens only when running tests and test client makes GET request.
When views is accessed under runserver, it serves empty page as desired - no exception is raised.

{{{
# view
def zoo(response):
    return HttpResponse(response.raw_post_data)
}}}

{{{
#view test
class SimpleTest(TestCase):    
    def test_lala(self):       
        c = Client()
        res = c.get('/')
}}}

I can agree that accessing raw_post_data in case of GET request is weird, but nevertheless such issue should be handled in consistent way no matter if it's request via Django's test client or real http request handled by runserver.
