headers += '{}: {}\n'.format(header, value)
return (
'{method} HTTP/1.1\n'
'Content-Length: {content_length}\n'
'Content-Type: {content_type}\n'
'{headers}\n\n'
'{body}'
).format(
method=request.method,
content_length=request.META['CONTENT_LENGTH'],
content_type=request.META['CONTENT_TYPE'],
headers=headers,
body=request.body,
)
