Twitter does not require clients to send a Content-Type header with their POST requests (especially with a post to /statuses/update.xml).

As a result, some clients do not send this header (while the POST request is in application/x-www-form-urlencoded). This is the case of Tweetie for Mac.

Laconica should be more flexible and if no Content-Type header is provided, consider that the body is in urlencoded format.
