PATCH incorrectly checks content_type in certain situations

[artagel]

When running a PATCH operation, if the content type header isn't set, then the content_type variable is set to None. When this occurs, you traceback on evaluating startswith on None Line 1499 of views.py

        content_type = request.headers.get('Content-Type', None)
        content_is_json = content_type.startswith('application/json')
