Root Cause

FastAPI请求体为JSON但缺少Content-Type头，导致验证失败。

FastAPI请求体为JSON但缺少Content-Type头，导致验证失败。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 确保客户端发送正确的Content-Type头 
    requests.post(url, json={'key': 'value'})  # 自动设置Content-Type: application/json
  2. 85% success 使用中间件检查并设置默认Content-Type 
    from starlette.middleware.base import BaseHTTPMiddleware; class ContentTypeMiddleware(BaseHTTPMiddleware): async def dispatch(self, request, call_next): if not request.headers.get('Content-Type'): request.headers.__dict__['_list'].append(('content-type', 'application/json')); return await call_next(request)

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 忽略Content-Type头，期望框架自动检测 90% fail

    FastAPI严格依赖Content-Type头。

  2. 在路由中使用request.json()手动解析 80% fail

    仍然需要Content-Type头。
