This is a simple Flask extension that configures your Flask application to redirect all incoming requests to HTTPS.
Redirects only occur when app.debug
is False
.
Usage is pretty simple:
from flask import Flask from flask_sslify import SSLify app = Flask(__name__) sslify = SSLify(app)
If you make an HTTP request, it will automatically redirect:
$ curl -I http://secure-samurai.herokuapp.com/ HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND Content-length: 281 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2012 21:39:36 GMT Location: https://secure-samurai.herokuapp.com/ Server: gunicorn/0.14.2 Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000 Connection: keep-alive
Flask-SSLify also provides your application with an HSTS policy.
By default, HSTS is set for on year (31536000 seconds).
You can change the duration by passing the age parameter:
sslify = SSLify(app, age=300)
If you'd like to include subdomains in your HSTS policy, set the subdomains parameter:
sslify = SSLify(app, subdomains=True)
Installation is simple too:
$ pip install Flask-SSLify
