title: JSON parsing error in django post request
body: <p>I'm trying to send data through POST request in django</p>
  <pre><code>url = 'http://db-003:8013/v1/upgrade-ce'
  payload = {
             &quot;cluster_name&quot;: cluster_name,
             &quot;cec_id&quot;: cec_id,
             &quot;new_version&quot;: new_version,
             &quot;cr_number&quot;: cr_number,         
            }
  
  response = requests.post(url, data=payload)
  </code></pre>
  <p>On receiver end post method:
  </p>
  <pre><code>cluster name = request.data.get('cluster_name')
  </code></pre>
  <p><em>Data on receiver's end</em></p>
  <pre><code>&lt;QueryDict: {'cluster_name': ['abcd'], 'cec_id': ['abc'], 'new_version': ['8.0.23'], 'cr_number': ['6587657']}&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>The obtained data is a list, and not an individual string string.
  Tried <code>json.dumps()</code> , but on the receiver end, data is empty.</p>
  <p>How do i get an individual string</p>
