KeyError: 'content-type' when calling delete_document() function in Python
Hi everybody, I have encountered and error and wanted to see if anybody else encountered the same before opening an Issue.
For context, I have the following code:
TypeScript
client = Client()
client.set_endpoint('<Project_Endpoint>')
client.set_project('<Project_ID>')
client.set_key('<KEY>')
db = Databases(client)
delete_response = db.delete_document(
database_id='<DB_ID>',
collection_id='<COLLECTION_ID>',
document_id='<Some_ID>'
)
Output:
TypeScript
Traceback (most recent call last):

content_type = response.headers['Content-Type']

KeyError: 'content-type'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

KeyError: 'content-type'
TL;DR
Developers encountered KeyError 'content-type' when calling delete_document() function in Python due to a missing header key. To solve this, developers should modify the content-type key in the response headers to 'Content-Type'.
