Description

We have request.headers since Django 2.2, but RequestFactory, and thus Client, still require using the awkward meta syntax for setting headers:

self.client.get("/", HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE="en")

I propose we add support for a headers argument that takes a dictionary like request.headers:

self.client.get("/", headers={"accept-language": "en"})

This would make tests easier to read and write, since they’d be consistent with HttpRequest.

(If this is accepted and merged, open a ​django-upgrade issue to rewrite request factory and client invocations.)
