Python Flask, how to set content type

Question

I am using Flask and I return an XML file from a get request. How do I set the content type to xml ?

e.g.

@app.route(\'/ajax_ddl\')
def ajax_ddl():
          


        

Answer 1

As simple as this

x = "some data you want to return"
return x, 200, {'Content-Type': 'text/css; charset=utf-8'}

Hope it helps

Update: Use this method because it will work with both python 2.x and python 3.x

and secondly it also eliminates multiple header problem.

from flask import Response
r = Response(response="TEST OK", status=200, mimetype="application/xml")
r.headers["Content-Type"] = "text/xml; charset=utf-8"
return r
