Flask headers not sending-CodePudding

I have an application where I am trying to send a post request with an added header.

resp=make_response(redirect(returnFilter(request.args,forms)))
resp.headers.add('foo','foo')
return resp

the returnFilter function is a custom function to make a link for the redirect and that works fine. I added a breakpoint at return resp to make sure it was adding the header after I noticed the problem and it does.

I caught the request it would send and it confirmed it did not actually add the header but I do not know why.

CodePudding user response：

You are adding the foo: foo header to the response headers, but it looks like your screenshot is from request headers, did you look at the correct headers?

Some example code i wrote to test headers.add(...) method:

from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for, make_response

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.get('/')
def index():
    return 'Hello'

@app.get('/header-test')
def header_test():
    response = make_response(redirect(url_for('index')))
    response.headers.add('foo', 'foo')
    return response

app.run()

Request headers:

GET /header-test HTTP/1.1

Response headers:

As you can see foo: foo is there in response headers just like it should be.
