The cgi module in Python 1.5.2 sets the content-type to
application/x-www-form-urlencoded when no content-type header is
provided. This is an error. It is legal for HTTP requests to
ommit this header and most (or at least the most widely used ;)
clients don't include a content type in PUT requests, which are
used by many publishing tools.
I've attached a context diff that fixes this problem.
