The code that produces failure:

path = '/indexer'
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    'accept': 'text/plain',
}
docs = [{'field1': 'value1', 'field2': 'value2'}]
params = urllib.urlencode({'items': pickle.dumps(docs)})
http = httplib.HTTPConnection('localhost', 8080)
try:
    http.request('PUT', path, params, headers)
    response = http.getresponse()
    print response.reason
finally:
    http.close()

The dictionary I get as request.args is empty.

Will try this.
