HttpResponse.charset A string denoting the charset in which the response will be encoded. If not given at HttpResponse instantiation time, it will be extracted from content_type and if that is unsuccessful, the DEFAULT_CHARSET setting will be used.

class HttpResponse [source] In contrast to HttpRequest objects, which are created automatically by Django, HttpResponse objects are your responsibility. Each view you write is responsible for instantiating, populating and returning an HttpResponse. The HttpResponse class lives in the django.http module.

HttpRequest.__iter__() Methods implementing a file-like interface for reading from an HttpRequest instance. This makes it possible to consume an incoming request in a streaming fashion. A common use-case would be to process a big XML payload with an iterative parser without constructing a whole XML tree in memory. Given this standard interface, an HttpRequest instance can be passed directly to an XML parser such as ElementTree: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET for element in ET.iterparse(r

Changed in Django 1.9: Setting urlconf=None raised ImproperlyConfigured in older versions.

HttpRequest.site From the CurrentSiteMiddleware: An instance of Site or RequestSite as returned by get_current_site() representing the current site.

HttpRequest.session From the SessionMiddleware: A readable and writable, dictionary-like object that represents the current session.

This attribute is only set after URL resolving took place, which means it’s available in all views but not in middleware which are executed before URL resolving takes place (you can use it in process_view() though).
