Get http in Flask-CodePudding

I am starter to python and using Python Flask and generating REST API service.

I want to check authorization header which is sent the client.

But I can't find way to get HTTP header in flask.

Any help for getting HTTP header authorization is appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

If we are talking about using basic HTTP Auth then you can get the username and password with Flask like this:

from flask import request

@app.route('/route')
def route():
    username = request.authorization.username
    password = request.authorization.password
    ...

Be advised: there are some security concerns when using basic HTTP Auth

CodePudding user response：

Please consider using JWT tokens for authentication.

A flask library to implement this paradigm is: fkask_restful
