I've been stuck on this for a few days now:
Pg 68 states that "The following is the equivalent curl command. Note that we don't use the -H option and curl will send the data in the default application/x-www-form-urlencoded:"

But when I
curl -iX POST -d '{"name":"Toy Story 4.2","release_date":"2019-05-18T03:02:00.776594Z","game_category":"3D RPG","played":"false"}' localhost:8000/games/
and when I
curl -iX POST -d '{"name":"Toy Story 4.2","release_date":"2019-05-18T03:02:00.776594Z","game_category":"3D RPG","played":"false"}' -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" localhost:8000/games/
I get

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

{"release_date":["This field is required."]}

I am having issues getting past pg 62. In my quest for an answer I've had some people suggest that line 30 of https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-RESTful-Python-Web-Services/blob/master/Chapter%202/restful_python_chapter_02_02/gamesapi/games/views.py should have DELETE instead of POST.

Can you please confirm?
