Message 236912 - Python tracker

Yes I agree with the behaviour that None means no body (for requests such as GET), and an empty string means an empty but present body. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the fix for Issue 14721 already does that.

Perhaps the new behaviour needs a “Changed in version X” tag? I’m not sure, but I tend to think of this as a new feature, rather than a bug fix.
