"""Sometimes it is necessary to set additional headers in a view. Because
views do not have to return response objects but can return a value that
is converted into a response object by Flask itself, it becomes tricky to
add headers to it. This function can be called instead of using a return
and you will get a response object which you can use to attach headers.
If view looked like this and you want to add a new header::
def index():
return render_template('index.html', foo=42)
You can now do something like this::
def index():
response = make_response(render_template('index.html', foo=42))
response.headers['X-Parachutes'] = 'parachutes are cool'
return response
This function accepts the very same arguments you can return from a
view function. This for example creates a response with a 404 error
code::
response = make_response(render_template('not_found.html'), 404)
The other use case of this function is to force the return value of a
view function into a response which is helpful with view
decorators::
response = make_response(view_function())
response.headers['X-Parachutes'] = 'parachutes are cool'
Internally this function does the following things:
- if no arguments are passed, it creates a new response argument
- if one argument is passed, :meth:`flask.Flask.make_response`
is invoked with it.
- if more than one argument is passed, the arguments are passed
to the :meth:`flask.Flask.make_response` function as tuple.

Variable arguments that are unknown to the target endpoint are appended
to the generated URL as query arguments. If the value of a query argument
is `None`, the whole pair is skipped. In case blueprints are active
you can shortcut references to the same blueprint by prefixing the
local endpoint with a dot (``.``).
This will reference the index function local to the current blueprint::
url_for('.index')
For more information, head over to the :ref:`Quickstart <url-building>`.
To integrate applications, :class:`Flask` has a hook to intercept URL build
errors through :attr:`Flask.build_error_handler`. The `url_for` function
results in a :exc:`~werkzeug.routing.BuildError` when the current app does
not have a URL for the given endpoint and values. When it does, the
:data:`~flask.current_app` calls its :attr:`~Flask.build_error_handler` if
it is not `None`, which can return a string to use as the result of
`url_for` (instead of `url_for`'s default to raise the
:exc:`~werkzeug.routing.BuildError` exception) or re-raise the exception.
An example::
def external_url_handler(error, endpoint, **values):
"Looks up an external URL when `url_for` cannot build a URL."
# This is an example of hooking the build_error_handler.
# Here, lookup_url is some utility function you've built
# which looks up the endpoint in some external URL registry.

# External lookup did not have a URL.
# Re-raise the BuildError, in context of original traceback.

raise exc_type, exc_value, tb
else:
raise error
# url_for will use this result, instead of raising BuildError.
return url
app.build_error_handler = external_url_handler
Here, `error` is the instance of :exc:`~werkzeug.routing.BuildError`, and
`endpoint` and `**values` are the arguments passed into `url_for`. Note
that this is for building URLs outside the current application, and not for
handling 404 NotFound errors.
