Django unable to find post variable

I have following test code:

@csrf_exempt
def view_test(request):
    if request.method=="POST":
        if 'Var1' in request.POST :
            return HttpResponse("Flip")
        else:
            return HttpResponse("Flop")

I wanted to pass data to my django server via a GPRS and I am sending this "HTTP Packet"

    POST /test_pkt/ HTTP/1.1 \r\n
    Host: test.my_django_server.com \r\n
    User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 \r\n
    Accept: text/plain; q=0.5, text/html \r\n
    Accept-Encoding: deflate \r\n
    Accept-Language: en-US \r\n
    Connection: keep-alive \r\n
    Referer: http://test.my_django_server.com/test_pkt/ \r\n
    Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded \r\n
    Content-Length: 11 \r\n
    Var1=toggle\r\n
    \r\n

and In response I get

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2012 13:11:23 GMT
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
    Transfer-Encoding: chunked
    Connection: keep-alive
    Server: gunicorn/0.14.6

    c
    flop
    0

I know I am doing something wrong, but I couldn't find out. Can someone point me in the right direction.

As I mentioned in my comment, POST data goes in the body of a request. The body is always separated from the headers by a blank line, so you need a blank line between the last header (Content-Length) and the body.
