Forcing Flask to return HTTP version in response

I'm having problem on a particular device (iPhone SE, iOS 9.3.5). Reading this other SO post, it seems that safari thinks that the web server is using HTTP/0.9, and the issue can be solved by including the HTTP version in the response. I'm using templates, if that matters.

I've tried this:

@downloader.route('/')
def home():
    return render_template('home.html', name=get_guest_name()), "HTTP/1.1 200 OK", {"Content-Type": "text/html"}

But this does not seem to work. Desktop browsers and other mobile devices work just fine.

You want to wrap your render_template() result (which is a str) in a Response using make_response(), attach the desired headers, e.g. along these lines:

@downloader.route('/')
def home():
    resp = make_response(render_template('home.html', name=get_guest_name()))
    resp.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/html'
    return resp

You could make this into decorator to have it easily reusable.
