flask how to get the HTTP_ORIGIN of a request

Question

I'd like to make a response with the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header been set all by myself, while it's seems messing up to figure out where the "HTTP_ORIGIN" parameter comes with the request is.

Answer 1

This will get you the answer

from flask import request
...
if request.environ['HTTP_ORIGIN'] is not None:
    print request.environ['HTTP_ORIGIN']

Answer 2

here is example :

from flask import request
...
allow_origin_list = ['https://example.com', 'http://example.com']

if 'HTTP_ORIGIN' in request.environ and request.environ['HTTP_ORIGIN']  in allow_origin_list:
    response.headers.add('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', request.environ['HTTP_ORIGIN'] )
    response.headers.add('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'access-control-allow-origin,content-type')
    response.headers.add('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,POST')

Answer 3

I'm using flask - 0.10.1, and the HTTP_ORIGIN seems to be one of the attrs of this object

flask.request.environ

Here is what I got from print flask.request.environ when handling a request:
