How to set an HTTPONLY cookie in Flask

Check set_cookie() (docs) under Flask APIs. It provides options for setting a HTTPONLY cookie using its httponly option. For example, the following code will set a HTTPONLY cookie:

set_cookie("name", value = "value", httponly = True)

Flask provides a configuration value SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY which controls whether cookies are set to be http only. By default, however, it is set to True, so unless it's explicitly set to False, cookies will be http only.
