Description
I don't know exactly why, but some ajax requests don't have Content-Type header.
When this happens, when I try to get request.POST, I got the following exception: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith',
raised by method _load_post_and_files (line 270) of django/http/init.py.
The problem is that when the request doesn't have Content-Type, self.META.get('CONTENT_TYPE', ) returns None.
To fix the problem I just did it:
<code>
content_type = self.META.get('CONTENT_TYPE', None) or
if content_type.startswith('multipart'):
</code>
