     Reporter:  rcoup          |      Owner:  nobody

 HttpResponse acts like a dictionary with respect to headers. It's a common
 middleware pattern to set headers ''unless'' they've been explicitly set
 by the view. eg.

 {{{
 class MyMiddleware(object):
   def process_response(self, request, response):
     if not 'X-Test' in response:
       response['X-Test'] = 12345
     return response
 }}}

 Having a `setdefault()` implementation would simplify this (not much in
 the trivial one-header case, but for example CORS middleware where you're
 setting a number of headers)

 {{{
 class MyMiddleware(object):
   def process_response(self, request, response):
     response.setdefault('X-Test', 12345)
     return response
 }}}
