The HttpResponse implementation uses a normal Python dict to store headers. This makes it necessary to have every component that sets headers in a response agree on the exact case to use for every header name. I found this problem while trying to glue a WSGI app into a Django app, only to discover that one believes that a header should be named ""content-type"", while the other prefers ""Content-Type"". This results in a HTTP response that contains both headers, leading to undefined (and currently bad) results on the client side. Probably the HttpResponse class should use a dict-like object that preserves, but ignores, case, so that ""Foo"" and ""fOo"" will map to the same item." defect closed HTTP handling normal fixed sprintsept14 Design decision needed 1 0 0 0 0 0
