Anthony's response suggests a better way to solve your problem yet I can see people wanting to forward headers. This is possible.
redirect(URL(...)) is the same as raise HTTP(303,location=URL(...)) the named arguments of HTTP are headers so you can do: raise HTTP(303,location=URL(...),success=True) or (forward all headers) raise HTTP(303,location=URL(...),**request.headers) On Nov 28, 7:15 am, thodoris <[email protected]> wrote: > I want to do the following: > > I want to add a key to response.headers > > response.headers['success']='True' > > after a successful file upload and also redirect. > > The problem is that i also want to redirect after successful upload > but redirect makes a new reasponse.headers and i lose the key i want > to add. > > Is there a way to solve this? > > When upload fails and i don't get redirected i can see my key in the > headers. > > My code is: > > @auth.requires_login() > def upload(): > db.reactable.id.default = request.args(0) > form=SQLFORM(db.table) > response.headers['success']='False' > if form.accepts(request.vars,session): > response.headers['success']='True' > session.flash="Record added" > redirect(URL('index')) > return dict(form=form)
