#24728 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

feedgenerator classes still use "mime_type" instead of "content_type"

Description

The mimetype argument to HttpResponse and others was deprecated in v1.5 and removed in v1.7 in favor of content_type to be more semantically aligned with the HTTP header it represents. However, the feedgenerator classes django.utils.feedgenerator.RssFeed and django.utils.feedgenerator.Atom1Feed still use a mime_type attribute.

This leads to slightly ungainly semantics like:

    response = HttpResponse(content_type=feed.mime_type)

Might be aesthetically nicer to make this more consistent by using content_type across the board.

Yes, but of course a deprecation of the current names is required. See Deprecating a Feature for a checklist of things to do when writing the patch.
