Test client does not handle data well

[FunkyBob]

When trying to pass an arbitrary request body using self.client.delete(), it does not handle the data the same as using get/post.

result = self.client.delete(...,

data = json.dumps({'key': 'value'}),
content_type='application/json',

)

Results in:

File ".../lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/test/client.py", line 486, in delete

response = super(Client, self).delete(path, data=data, extra)

File ".../lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/test/client.py", line 313, in delete

'QUERY_STRING': urlencode(data, doseq=True) or parsed[4],

File ".../local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/http.py", line 75, in urlencode

for k, v in query],

ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

Whereas the same call using client.get or client.post will pass the data on unmolested when content-type is set the same.

I think I fixed that a few months ago.

Can you try with 1.5rc1 or master?
