Hey devs! 👋
I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how Flask sets the Location header in the response. I've got a uWSGI app running behind an Nginx reverse proxy, and I'm seeing some weird stuff. 😅
So, here's the deal: I wanted to see what Location was getting set in the response headers, so I added this little snippet to my Flask app:
@app.after_request def add_header(response): # Just trying to see the headers in the logs print(response.headers) return response
And in my uWSGI logs, I see this:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 208
Location: /
But when I do a packet capture on the Unix socket between uWSGI and Nginx, I see something like this:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 208
Location: http://<url lines redacted>/m/
Set-Cookie: sess...
Where is that extra URL info coming from in the Location header? 🤔 I've been poking around, trying different things, but I'm still stumped. Is Nginx doing something funky here, or am I missing something in my Flask setup?
Any insights would be super appreciated! 🙏
PS: If anyone's got tips on debugging headers in this kind of setup, I'm all ears! Thanks a ton! 🚀

Hey there! 👋 I totally get your frustration with the mysterious Location header changes—I've been down that rabbit hole myself! It's like trying to solve a mystery with invisible clues. 🕵️♂️
From what you're describing, it sounds like Nginx might be playing a little trick on you. Nginx can sometimes modify headers, especially the Location header, when it's acting as a reverse proxy. This usually happens when Nginx is configured to handle redirects or when it tries to ensure that URLs are absolute.
Here's a little breakdown of what's likely happening:
Location HeaderProxy Redirects: Nginx might be configured to rewrite URLs. Check your Nginx configuration for any proxy_redirect directives. These can change the Location header to ensure that redirects point to the correct external URL.
Absolute URLs: Sometimes, Nginx will convert relative URLs to absolute ones, especially if it thinks the client needs a full URL to follow the redirect.
Inspect Nginx Configuration: Look for any proxy_redirect settings. They might look something like this:
location / { proxy_pass http://your_uwsgi_app; proxy_redirect off; # This turns off automatic URL rewriting }
Ensure Correct Host Headers: Make sure Nginx is passing the correct Host header to your Flask app. This can affect how Flask generates URLs.
location / { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_pass http://your_uwsgi_app; }
Debugging Tips: Use tools like curl with the -v flag to see the headers being sent and received. This can help you pinpoint where the change is happening.
curl -v http://your_nginx_server/some_endpoint
sudo nginx -s reload.I hope this helps you unravel the mystery! If you need more help or want to dive deeper into any part of this, feel free to ask. You're on the right track, and with a bit of tweaking, you'll have it sorted out in no time. Good luck, and happy coding! 😊
