RFC6266, recently published by the IETF HTTPbis WG, describes a way to use
the Content-Disposition header in HTTP in a manner whereby almost all
current browsers can handle files (e.g., downloading with disposition
'attachment') that have non-ASCII characters in them, with other browsers
using an ASCII fallback.
Django currently does not have an API for setting Content-Disposition,
although there are a few references to it in the documentation. Adding
such an API would allow Django sites to download files in any language
easily.
Additionally, there's advice in the RFC that, properly implemented in a
Django API, would help sites avoid common pitfalls.
