Functions

abort	One helper function that can be used to return HTTP Error inside a view function.
escape	Replace special characters "&", "<", ">" and (") to HTML-safe characters.
redirect	Returns a response that redirects the client to the target location.
safe_join	Safely join directory and filename, otherwise this returns None.
send_file	Sends the contents of a file to the client. Please never pass filenames to this function from user sources without checking them first. Set `as_attachment` to `true` if you want to send this file with a `Content-Disposition: attachment` header. This will return `NotFound` if filepath is not one file.
send_file_range	Sends the contents of a file to the client, supporting HTTP Range requests, so it allows only partial files to be requested and sent. This doesn't support multiranges at the moment.

send_from_directory	Send a file from a given directory with `send_file`. This is a secure way to quickly expose static files from an folder. This will guess the mimetype for you.
