Client.raw_post
Afternoon
raw data such as XML or JSON to a view. Russ suggested adding a
raw_post method to the test Client to facilitate such tests. I've
created a ticket and uploaded a patch that does just this.

I've assigned it to Russ, as he suggested it originally.

Looks good, but:
1) Needs a test case. (tests/modeltests/test_client)
2) Needs documentation, or at least a first pass draft (docs/testing.txt)
3) What's the intention with defaulting to
application/x-www-url-encoded as a content type? I agree that type
should be an argument to the raw_post method; however, unless you can
advocate why application/x-www-url-encoded is the value that will be
used 90% of the time for this argument, I'd rather keep it as a
required but without default. If the objection is to typing
application/... all the time, perhaps some constants in the Client
package would be a better approach (Client.URL_ENCODED =
'application/...').

Afternoon
default for the type argument to raw_post. All tests pass with this
patch applied to the current Django SVN version. Please let me know if
any more changes are needed.
