Setting HTTP status code in Bottle?

Question

How do I set the HTTP status code of my response in Bottle?

from bottle import app, run, route, Response  @route('/') def f():     Response.status = 300 # also tried `Response.status_code = 300`     return dict(hello='world')  '''StripPathMiddleware defined:    http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/recipes.html#ignore-trailing-slashes '''  run(host='localhost', app=StripPathMiddleware(app())) 

As you can see, the output doesn't return the HTTP status code I set:

$ curl localhost:8080 -i HTTP/1.0 200 OK Date: Sun, 19 May 2013 18:28:12 GMT Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.4 Content-Length: 18 Content-Type: application/json  {"hello": "world"} 

Answer 1

I believe you should be using response

from bottle import response; response.status = 300

Answer 2

Bottle's built-in response type handles status codes gracefully. Consider something like:

return bottle.HTTPResponse(status=300, body=theBody) 

As in:

import json from bottle import HTTPResponse  @route('/') def f():     theBody = json.dumps({'hello': 'world'}) # you seem to want a JSON response     return bottle.HTTPResponse(status=300, body=theBody)
