Redirect from falcon authenticate

In my falcon app I want to redirect to another page from the authenticate function.

I am doing this:

resp.status = falcon.HTTP_301
resp.set_header('Location', '/http://foo.bar.com:8004/falcon_passthrough/')

But it still calls the underlying endpoint on return and does not redirect.

Is there a way to cause this redirect and not call the underlying endpoint?

Solution

  • If you are using 1.0.0rc1 just do:

    raise falcon.HTTPMovedPermanently(location)
