Description
What I want: set the charset on responses with javascript files.
The supposed way of doing that is setting the DEFAULT_CHARSET
in settings.py.
However, this setting isn't used when the content_type
is specified when calling HttpResponse
.
It seems to me that this is a bug. Why accept charset
as an option when it only does something
when content_type
is set.
django.views.i18n.JavascriptCatalog
sets this text/javascript
as the content_type.
Whereas it should be: text/javascript; charset=utf-8
.

I am not experiencing problems directly. However it was 'strongly advised' after a security audit of our application.
I was expecting it to be configurable, or to be able to inject. The way the HttpResponse
works is by not setting the charset when content_type is specified.
That seems like a bug as well.

I think adding the charset for JavaScriptCatalog
makes sense.
HttpResponse
consider that if the content_type is already set, it's the responsability of the setter to set the charset if needed. I wouldn't change that.

How doe the fix qualify for a backport? If it does, it should have a 2.0.x release note.
Are you experiencing a problem due to the lack of
charset=utf-8
?
