16068	Ease access to request headers	Johannes Gorset	Johannes Gorset	"In the current implementation of the HttpRequest class, one must parse the environment variables passed to Django by WSGI to access the request headers. It would be more pythonic if accessing HttpRequest headers conformed to accessing HttpResponse headers.

{{{#!python
    
    # Current implementation
    user_agent = request.META['HTTP_USER_AGENT']
    cache_control = response['Cache-Control']
    
    # Proposed implementation
    user_agent = request['User-Agent']
    cache_control = response['Cache-Control']
