"""Django supports parsing the content of an HTTP request, but only for form POST requests.
That behaviour is sufficient for dealing with standard HTML forms, but it doesn't map well
to general HTTP requests.

We need a method to be able to:

1) Determine the parsed content on a request for methods other than POST (eg typically also PUT)
2) Determine the parsed content on a request for media types other than application/x-www-form-urlencoded
   and multipart/form-data.  (eg also handle multipart/json)
