**(New in Django development version)** ``content_type`` is an alias for
``mimetype``. Historically, the parameter was only called ``mimetype``,
but since this is actually the value included in the HTTP ``Content-Type``
header, it can also include the character set encoding, which makes it
more than just a MIME type specification. If ``mimetype`` is specifiedi

neither is given, the ``DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE`` setting is used.
