Flask SSL require and redirect decorator

Easy to use package for Flask framework to check if request is served securely.

Please note, that this package does not enable SSL directly in Flask app (however we support that) we recommend you to use reverse proxy or wsgi server with configured SSL params.

Install

pip install flask-ssl

Configuration

You should have working reverse proxy server with configured SSL and SSL header information.

This plugin supports nginx and apache default configurations.

For example, for your nginx installation it will be:

server {
  ...
  
  location  / {
    ...
    
    proxy_set_header HTTPS on;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
  }
}

Use

from flask_ssl import *

# {...}

@ssl_require
@app.route('/your/url/that/should/be/available/only/with/ssl')
def func():
    return "Ok, served via SSL"
    
@ssl_redirect
@app.route('/your/url/that/should/be/redirected/to/ssl')
def func2():
    return "Ok, served via SSL"
