Add header parameters in HTTPFound?

[QLands Software]

Hi,

I have an application where I have a view called "Feeds" as this:

@view_config(route_name='feeds', renderer='templates/feeds/list_feeds.html')
def feeds_view(request):

    print "**************"
    for key in request.headers.keys():
        print key
    print "**************"


    commonCSS.need()
    commonJS.need()
    siteScript.need()
    dataTables.need()
    login = authenticated_userid(request)
    user = USERS.get(login)
    if (user == None):
        return HTTPFound(location=request.route_url('login'))
    else:
        return {'activeUser': user,'publicFeeds':loadPublicFeeds(user.login),'privateFeeds':loadPrivateFeeds(user.login)}

In a different view I use HTTPFound to as redirect to "feeds" but I am passing an extra value in the headers:

headers = {"Authorization": "864a2de6-074a-4fd7-a24e-48400183869e"}
return HTTPFound(location=request.route_url('feeds'),headers=headers)

However the "feeds" view does not seem to get it. What am I doing wrong?

Your problem is in misunderstanding HTTP.  Sending an 'Authorize' header in a response, will not cause the client to resend that Authorize header in a later request.  It just doesn't actually work that way.  Pyramid is happy to let you send the Authorize header, it is not actually a valid HTTP header for the response.  

Maybe you want a cookie instead.

Ok. Got it. I implemented it with a cookie. Thanks
