#8765: mod_python handler requires explicit str() cast for
HttpResponse(mimetype=...)

mod_python assumes content_type to be an ASCII string, while django uses
unicode strings everywhere.
For example, the following code:
{{{
#!python
att = Attachment.objects.get()
return HttpResponse(content=att.file, mimetype=att.content_type)
}}}
works in django dev server, but crashes in mod_python:
{{{
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/importer.py", line
1537, in HandlerDispatch
default=default_handler, arg=req, silent=hlist.silent)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/importer.py", line
1229, in _process_target
result = _execute_target(config, req, object, arg)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mod_python/importer.py", line
1128, in _execute_target
result = object(arg)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/django/core/handlers/modpython.py", line 210, in handler
return ModPythonHandler()(req)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/django/core/handlers/modpython.py", line 193, in __call__
req.content_type = response['Content-Type']
TypeError: content_type must be a string
}}}
so the only way to make it work is to cast explicitely:
{{{
#!python
return HttpResponse(content=att.file, mimetype=str(att.content_type))
}}}
The str() cast needs to be moved into core/handlers/modpython.py, which
already applies it for all headers except Content-Type (since it's handled
separately).
