[issue11082] ValueError: Content-Length should be specified

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

I think the information in the patch should go in the urlopen doc, not in urlencode.  Adding a note to urlencode that says that the result must be encoded is fine, but all the details about the default encoding and the fact that an extra Content-Type header is necessary when the encoding is not iso-8859-1 belong to the urlopen doc IMHO.  (Is the header actually necessary?  I think I always sent utf-8 without header, and the example you added in r88394 also uses utf-8 with no extra headers.)
There are also a few minor issues with the patch -- I'll leave a note in rietveld for that.
