format for setting a boolean request header in django

Question

I have created a response object in my django view by calling HttpResponse

myResponse = HttpResponse("Here is some text")

and I want to set set the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials header on the response to be true. Should this be set with a python string like I do for other headers

myResponse['Access-Control-Allow-Credentials'] = 'true'

or with a python boolean

myResponse['Access-Control-Allow-Credentials'] = True

or will either work? (and if they will both technically work, is one more "correct")

Answer 1

Go with:

myResponse['Access-Control-Allow-Credentials'] = 'true'

If the Boolean True is serialized as "True" then some browsers might not accept it

Answer 2

Seems like the string version is correct:
