"""
The :mod:`response` module provides :class:`Response` and :class:`ImmediateResponse` classes.

`Response` is a subclass of `HttpResponse`, and can be similarly instantiated and returned
from any view. It is a bit smarter than Django's `HttpResponse`, for it renders automatically
its content to a serial format by using a list of :mod:`renderers`.

To determine the content type to which it must render, default behaviour is to use standard
HTTP Accept header content negotiation. But `Response` also supports overriding the content type 
by specifying an ``_accept=`` parameter in the URL. Also, `Response` will ignore `Accept` headers
from Internet Explorer user agents and use a sensible browser `Accept` header instead.


`ImmediateResponse` is an exception that inherits from `Response`. It can be used
to abort the request handling (i.e. ``View.get``, ``View.put``, ...), 
and immediately returning a response.
