how to raise an HTTPException alongside a redirect response?

[asaah18]

The use case at hand is as follow, I want to:

• Raise an HTTPException if a user is not authorized -to be specific, authorization token not found or invalid-.
• In addition, I want to redirect the client to the login end-point -which return an HTML response-.

I know how to do them individually, but not together/at the same time.

Any help is appreciated

You can probably do this with something like though I have not tested it

raise HTTPException(status_code=302, detail="Not authorized", headers = {"Location": "your/login/route"} )

Where the 302 tells the browser to redirect and the location header tells it where to redirect
