Python 3.13.0b2: KeyError: 'content-type' in `test_debug_html[asyncio]` and `test_debug_html[trio]`

[Karolina Surma]

Two tests fail with Python 3.13.0b2 on a missing key 'content-type'. I run then during the RPM build on version 0.37.2.
@musicinmybrain reports it can be reproduced via a virtual environment: pip install -e .[full]; pip install -r requirements.txt; pip install --update trio; python -m pytest)

I confirm this still happens on Python 3.13.0b4.

I have a fix for this on #2662.

This is fixed on master. 👍
