I have a Flask Application that is prototyped as below and I want to be able to resend some requests received in one or more endpoints.
I would like to store the information necessary to send the request in the rawest state so it can be re-sent with the same path, url method, headers and body.
app = Flask(__name__)
old_requests = []
@app.route("/hello", methods=["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"])
def hello():
## Do something with request data here
old_requests.append(
## some information about the request that will allow to re-send it
)
return "Ok", 200
@app.route("/resend/<int:request_index>", methods=["GET"])
def resend_request(request_index):
request_info = old_requests[request_index]
## use this info to re-send the request, with the same headers and body
return "Ok", 200
What would be an abstract and pythonic way to do that?
In the code above I am storing the requests' information in an array, but of course in the real problem it is a database.
