Response can be any kind of iterable or string. If it's a string it's
considered being an iterable with one item which is the string passed.
headers can be a list of tuples or a `Headers` object.
Special note for `mimetype` and `content_type`. For most mime types
`mimetype` and `content_type` work the same, the difference affects
only 'text' mimetypes. If the mimetype passed with `mimetype` is a
mimetype starting with `text/` it becomes a charset parameter defined
with the charset of the response object. In constrast the
`content_type` parameter is always added as header unmodified.
