Description

Currently, Django is converting all HTTP headers to us-ascii (RFC 2616). However, a new RFC is available which defines how to encode character set in header fields (RFC 5987):

​http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc5987.html

My use case is about setting a filename (which can legitimately be a Unicode string) in the Content-Disposition header:

    response["Content-Disposition"]= "attachment; filename=%s" % fname

I mentioned RFC 5987 in #16470. The general solution will be the same for these two tickets.
