Coming very late to the party here, but it's good to see this written
up. However, (as Eric Florenzano just pointed out to me) the "mimetype"
parameter doesn't look quite right. You don't need to specify the header
name, since Django puts the contents of the mimetype parameter into the
Content-Type header (and gives it the right name). So I suspect this
might be generating slightly bad HTTP headers. Just removing the
"Content-Type:" prefix from that string would fix it.
Thanks for posting your solution, in any case. It's nice to see this
stuff in use and, you're right that the trick is finding and using the
correct MIME type.

Malcolm
