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

You can try the following method(python3.6.2)：

case one：

@app.route('/hello')
def hello():

    headers={ 'content-type':'text/plain' ,'location':'http://www.stackoverflow'}
    response = make_response('
hello world
',301)
    response.headers = headers
    return response

case two：

@app.route('/hello')
def hello():

    headers={ 'content-type':'text/plain' ,'location':'http://www.stackoverflow.com'}
    return '
hello world
',301,headers

I am using Flask .And if you want to return json,you can write this:

import json # 
@app.route('/search/')
def search(keyword):

    result = Book.search_by_keyword(keyword)
    return json.dumps(result),200,{'content-type':'application/json'}


from flask import jsonify
@app.route('/search/')
def search(keyword):

    result = Book.search_by_keyword(keyword)
    return jsonify(result)
