Flask对请求的处理

由http://www.cnblogs.com/steinliber/p/5133386.html 中可得服务器会把environ和start_response发送给Flask的实例app，返回的是app中的wsgi_app

def wsgi_app(self, environ, start_response):

        ctx = self.request_context(environ)
        ctx.push()
        error = None
        try:
            try:
                response = self.full_dispatch_request()
            except Exception as e:
                error = e
                response = self.make_response(self.handle_exception(e))
            return response(environ, start_response)
        finally:
            if self.should_ignore_error(error):
                error = None
            ctx.auto_pop(error)

在这个函数中，首先创建了请求的上下文并将请求推入请求栈，之后调用full_dispatch_request来得到响应，也就是url对应的视图函数的返回值，full_dispatch_request的程序为

def full_dispatch_request(self):
        """Dispatches the request and on top of that performs request
        pre and postprocessing as well as HTTP exception catching and
        error handling.

        .. versionadded:: 0.7
        """
        self.try_trigger_before_first_request_functions()
        try:
            request_started.send(self)
            rv = self.preprocess_request()
            if rv is None:
                rv = self.dispatch_request()
        except Exception as e:
            rv = self.handle_user_exception(e)
        response = self.make_response(rv)
        response = self.process_response(response)
        request_finished.send(self, response=response)
        return response

try_trigger_before_request_function会触发在app中注册的在接受第一个请求前要调用的函数，request_started是信号机制通知请求开始处理，preprocess_request会调用app中注册的请求前函数，若函数的返回值不是None，response的内容就设为该返回值。否则就调用dispatch_request来找到对应的视图函数得到返回值

 def dispatch_request(self):

        req = _request_ctx_stack.top.request
        if req.routing_exception is not None:
            self.raise_routing_exception(req)
        rule = req.url_rule
        # if we provide automatic options for this URL and the
        # request came with the OPTIONS method, reply automatically
        if getattr(rule, 'provide_automatic_options', False) \
           and req.method == 'OPTIONS':
            return self.make_default_options_response()
        # otherwise dispatch to the handler for that endpoint
        return self.view_functions[rule.endpoint](**req.view_args)

self.view_functions是通过路由模块产生的endpoint与视图函数相对应的字典。这个就能返回视图函数要返回的值

得到要响应的内容后通过make_response来将其转化为response的对象

    def make_response(self, rv):
        """Converts the return value from a view function to a real
        response object that is an instance of :attr:`response_class`.

make_response可以将字符串，函数，列表等转换成包含状态码以及响应头的response实例，得到response后会调用process_response，他会调用app中注册的after_request_funcs对response进行处理，返回处理过的response，然后full_dispatch_request会发信号通知请求处理结束，返回response，wsgi_app得到response后就返回response(environ,start_response）

 def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
        """Process this response as WSGI application.

        :param environ: the WSGI environment.
        :param start_response: the response callable provided by the WSGI
                               server.

        app_iter, status, headers = self.get_wsgi_response(environ)
        start_response(status, headers)
        return app_iter

这是response调用时的结果，即返回了可迭代的内容，服务器经过处理将内容发到客户端
