How to I set the Content Type of a Google Cloud Function HTTP response










1















How do I set the Content-Type of a response from a HTTP Google Cloud Function in Python? Right now I have something like:



def my_function(request):
xml = ...
return xml


This correctly returns my XML, but the Content-Type is wrong (it's text/html instead).

            Another option, as shown in the Cloud Functions docs under Authentication and CORS:



            def my_function(request):
            xml = ...

            headers = 'Content-Type': 'text/xml'

            return (xml, 200, headers)
