I am newbie in python and flask and trying to redirect a url with headers and unable to navigate, please provide me an example to solve the issue.
@app.route('/somepage')
def somepage():
headers={'SomeName':'whatever'}
return Response(redirect(url_for('home_page')),status=302, headers=headers)
@app.route('/home_page')
def home_page():
if request.headers['SomeName'] == 'whatever':
return render_template("home_page.html")
else:
return Response(status=405)
The flask url_for function can accept any number of **values you can use to send to the redirected view.
You can then use the Flask redirect function as so:
from flask import redirect
...
return redirect(url_for('home_page', headers=headers))
And then in the function use it as:
@app.route('/home_page')
def home_page():
if json.loads(request.args.get("headers"))["SomeName"] == "whatever":
return render_template("home_page.html")
else:
return Response(status=405)
