Flask-SSLify
============
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
-----
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
HTTP Strict Transport Security
------------------------------
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)
HTTP 301 Redirects
------------------
By default, the redirect is issued with a HTTP 302 response. You can change that to a HTTP 301 response
by passing the ``permanent`` parameter::
sslify = SSLify(app, permanent=True)
Install
-------
Installation is simple too::
$ pip install Flask-SSLify
