Research direction

Read service.py around line 57, where encode_multipart calls req.get_headers(), and inspect EntityDeleteRequest. Confirm the batch delete path currently receives no headers; done means it no longer raises the NoneType exception and supplies the expected Accept header.

Description

bug

Hello,

when we run delete requests in Batch Mode, it raises an exception:

...service.py", line 57, in encode_multipart
for hdr, hdr_val in req.get_headers().items():
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'items'

So we need to define the get_header() method for EntityDeleteRequest(ODataHttpRequest), e.g. like this:

def get_headers(self):
return {'Accept': 'application/json'}

I would like to pull a request and do the bugfix.
