Django的request.POST获取不到内容的原因

我通过如下的一段程序发送post请求：

import urllib3
pool = urllib3.connection_from_url('http://127.0.0.1:8090')
resp = pool.request('POST', '/polls/', fields={'key1':'value1', 'key2':'value2'}, headers={'Content-Type':'application/json'}, encode_multipart=False)

在服务器端我用request.POST期望能获取到<QueryDict: {u'key2': [u'value2'], u'key1': [u'value1']}>，但是我发现获取到的是一个空的<QueryDict: {}>，用reqyest.body是能获取到原始的请求内容key2=value2&key1=value1的。
这个时候只能去文档中找答案了，但是貌似Django中的文档也没给出我答案，这时候我就只能通过源码来找答案了，下面是class HttpRequest(object)中获取POST QueryDict的函数部分：

    def _load_post_and_files(self):
        """Populate self._post and self._files if the content-type is a form type"""
        if self.method != 'POST':
            self._post, self._files = QueryDict(encoding=self._encoding), MultiValueDict()
            return
        if self._read_started and not hasattr(self, '_body'):
            self._mark_post_parse_error()
            return

        if self.content_type == 'multipart/form-data':
            if hasattr(self, '_body'):
                # Use already read data
                data = BytesIO(self._body)
            else:
                data = self
            try:
                self._post, self._files = self.parse_file_upload(self.META, data)
            except MultiPartParserError:
                # An error occurred while parsing POST data. Since when
                # formatting the error the request handler might access
                # self.POST, set self._post and self._file to prevent
                # attempts to parse POST data again.
                # Mark that an error occurred. This allows self.__repr__ to
                # be explicit about it instead of simply representing an
                # empty POST
                self._mark_post_parse_error()
                raise
        elif self.content_type == 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded':
            self._post, self._files = QueryDict(self.body, encoding=self._encoding), MultiValueDict()
        else:
            self._post, self._files = QueryDict(encoding=self._encoding), MultiValueDict()

函数看起来有点长，但是我们只要关注后面的if elif else这三个分支即可，从elif self.content_type == 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded':这个分支能看到只有请求header中的'Content-Type'：'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'才会填充request.POST，其它情况下只有一个空的<QueryDict: {}>。
从这个问题也看到了Django对'Content-Type':'application/json'没有做任何处理，跟我预想的有一点不一样。
