REST doesn't require much technological support from the framework. REST is
more of an ideology. All you really need from the framework is the ability
to dispatch on the HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, HEAD, DELETE). Flask does
support this. The @route decorator accepts an argument listing the HTTP
methods the function handles on the given route. There is an example of this
in the documentation[1]. It's also useful to be able to access arbitrary
request and response headers. I've never had to access arbitrary request
headers. I can't find any documentation about accessing arbitrary request
headers, but you can set arbitrary response headers[2].

Methods heading)

Hi,

Request headers are in a dict-like in flask.request.headers.
flask.request is a Werkzeug Request object.

Hi,

I started a little app which handle Rest resources: it's not perfect at all
but I will try to improve it in the future.
Maybe it can help you for what you need...
