Ok, this is what I had to do in order to get the headers to work over RPC,
since it can't serialize file objects and things like that:
@service.xmlrpc
@service.jsonrpc
def headers():
"""
Returns the request headers.
@return: request headers as dict.
"""
h = dict(**request.env)
for k, v in h.items():
if not isinstance(v, (str, set, list, dict, tuple, int, float)):
del h[k]
if isinstance(v, set):
h[k] = list(v)
return h
Now, when I run the RPC services, this is what I get WITHOUT Auth (sorry, I
couldn't find a good way to format this):
