----------------------------------+-------------------------------
Passing the `mimetype` argument when instantiating `HttpResponse` should
raise a `DeprecationWarning`.
The mimetype argument has been deprecated via comment in the code for 4
years:
https://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/5844/django/trunk/django/http/__init__.py
It's about time we actually raised a `DeprecationWarning` and remove the
thing ASAP. If we swap the position of the mimetype and content_type
arguments, code the relies on argument position will continue to function
without raising the warning. The only code that will need to be changed is
code that explicitly uses the mimetype kwarg (including a bunch of django
tests).
This situation is long-lived enough to bypass the
PendingDeprecationWarning.
