[12:45:01] <wm-bb>	 <lucaswerkmeister> 🤨 do I need to care about this “extra bitmap file” on gitlab? : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/21f6a6c7/file_49656.jpg

[15:26:02] <wm-bb>	 <harej> I have a rest.php question. I'm trying to make requests to it with the Python requests library, and I consistently get back this `415` error message telling me that (empty string) is an invalid Content-Type, even though I am pretty sure I am passing either `application/json` or `application/json-patch+json` as the Content-Type. Am I somehow doing this wrong?
[16:07:41] <taavi>	 share your code please?
[17:09:32] <wm-bb>	 <harej> https://dpaste.org/2r9Ta (re @wmtelegram_bot: <taavi> share your code please?)
[17:09:42] <wm-bb>	 <harej> I'm specifically having trouble with PATCH
[17:10:08] <wm-bb>	 <harej> The part where I differentiate between application/json and application/json-patch+json is commented out at the moment but I previously had it uncommented
[17:15:39] <taavi>	 hmm, I'd be very surprised if requests did not set the correct Content-Type automatically. have you tried not setting it explicitely at all?
[17:15:51] <taavi>	 have you tried having it send the requests to a server you control so you could check the body is correct?
[17:29:42] <wm-bb>	 <MaartenDammers> You don't seem to actually pass the content type to the _request function? (re @harej: https://dpaste.org/2r9Ta)
[17:30:30] <wm-bb>	 <harej> The content type is derived from the verb that is passed
[17:30:45] <wm-bb>	 <MaartenDammers> headers = { 'content-type': 'application/json' } works for me
[17:30:53] <wm-bb>	 <harej> lowercase content-type not uppercase?
[17:33:07] <wm-bb>	 <MaartenDammers> url = 'https://www.wikidata.org/w/rest.php/wikibase/v0/entities/items/Q5/statements'
[17:33:08] <wm-bb>	 <MaartenDammers> headers = {}
[17:33:09] <wm-bb>	 <MaartenDammers> print(page.json())
[17:33:11] <wm-bb>	 <MaartenDammers> headers = { 'Content-type': 'application/json' }
[17:33:12] <wm-bb>	 <MaartenDammers> page = requests.post(url, headers = headers)
[17:33:14] <wm-bb>	 <MaartenDammers> print(page.json())
[17:34:03] <wm-bb>	 <harej> Sure but that's a get request, I don't think I ever had a problem with that
[17:34:21] <wm-bb>	 <MaartenDammers> post != get
[17:36:45] <wm-bb>	 <harej> Okay but it's patch I'm having trouble with
[17:39:49] <wm-bb>	 <harej> I did, same outcome (re @wmtelegram_bot: <taavi> hmm, I'd be very surprised if requests did not set the correct Content-Type automatically. have you tried not setting it...)
[17:46:45] <jbeee>	 you could do any of: make requests log what's happening <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10588644/how-can-i-see-the-entire-http-request-thats-being-sent-by-my-python-application>, connect to a server you control and log it server side, or make a reduced test case with some other client that will log verbosely e.g. curl CLI
[17:58:09] <wm-bb>	 <harej> I should do those things. I wanted to make sure first I wasn't missing something obvious.
[17:58:18] <wm-bb>	 <harej> Thank you, everyone
