Description (last modified by )
In the past Django has refused to add more HttpResponse subclasses to support all the codes listed in the HTTP RFC, e.g. in #9943, HttpResponseNoContent in #3362, etc.
A recent discussion on the django-developers mailing list came to the consensus that adding them would be a win. It also pointed out existing implementations in django-extras.
They should be added to Django core.

I took a first stab at a documentation patch for this: https://github.com/django/django/pull/12126

As I mentioned on the mailing list, I don't think we should add subclasses if they don't provide any functionality besides a different status code. For that, we could document this pattern:
If a response subclass provides some other additional functionality, I'm open to adding it.
