Parse form data as python dict literal when appropriate

[caymard]

Hi

First of all thanks for your useful tool.

I had an issue by parsing the following curl command:

curl -X POST -d "grant_type=client_credentials" -u "foo:bar" http://localhost/api/oauth/token/

Your tool returns this:

data = 'grant_type=client_credentials'
requests.post('http://localhost/api/oauth/token/', data=data)

First, as mentioned in #24, -u option is not processed.
Second, the data field does not work in requests. To make it work, I had to change the first line for data = {'grant_type':'client_credentials'}.
In conclusion, your tool should have return this:

data = {'grant_type': 'client_credentials'}
user = ('foo', 'bar')
requests.post('http://localhost/api/oauth/token/', data=data, auth=user)

Regards,

Clément

It looks like the only different between a string
data = 'grant_type=client_credentials'
and a dict literal
data = {'grant_type': 'client_credentials'}

is that the dict literal magically adds a content-type header.

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I'm going to add support for dict literals when the input string looks like it's a series of url-style keys and values.

Fixed in 0.0.28 for python.
