Changed in 3.3, 3.4, 3.6
- 3.3: Request.method argument is added to the Request class.
- 3.4: Default Request.method may be indicated at the class level.
- 3.6: Do not raise an error if the Content-Length has not been provided and data is neither None nor a bytes object. Fall back to use chunked transfer encoding instead.
