FAQ
Q
How can I pass data from a hook to a responder, and between hooks?
A
You can inject extra responder kwargs from a hook by adding them to the params dict passed into the hook. You can also add custom data to the req.context dict, as a way of passing contextual information around.
Q
Why does req.stream.read() hang for certain requests?
A
This behavior is an unfortunate artifact of the request body mechanics not being fully defined by the WSGI spec (PEP-3333). This is discussed in the reference documentation for a stream, and a workaround is provided in the form of bounded_stream.
Q
Can I edit content after it has been published to Facebook in the Falcon platform?
A
No, it is not possible to post-edit published content in Falcon due to Facebook's API. Facebook's API only allows the creation and deletion of posts.
Q
Is it possible to publish directly to Instagram from Falcon?
A
Yes. It is possible to plan, create and collaborate on your visual storytelling. Learn more about our Instagram publishing flow.
Q
Does Falcon support WebSocket?
A
Due to the limitations of WSGI, Falcon is unable to support the WebSocket protocol as stated above.
*In the meantime, you might try leveraging uWSGI’s native WebSocket support, or implementing a standalone service via Aymeric Augustin’s handy WebSockets library.
