Add HTTP response status code to JsonResponse

[Ahmed Saidi]

The JsonResponse class doesn't have/accept a status code, it would be helpful to add a status_code paramtere to this class, for example:

    return JsonResponse({'error':'Unauthorized access'}, status_code=401)

[Tim Graham]

Unfortunately due to history, the parameter is named different from the attribute, i.e. JsonResponse({'error':'Unauthorized access'}, status=401).

Great, i didn't see that in the documentation of JsonResponse, is it missing or i didn't see it?

[Tim Graham]

It could be more explicit I suppose. The docs say, "An HttpResponse subclass that helps to create a JSON-encoded response. It inherits most behavior from its superclass with a couple differences" and documentation for __init__() shows **kwargs in addition to the parameters that are specific for JSONResponse.
