The request context is automatically popped at the end of the request
for you. In debug mode the request context is kept around if
exceptions happen so that interactive debuggers have a chance to
introspect the data. With 0.4 this can also be forced for requests
that did not fail and outside of `DEBUG` mode. By setting
``'flask._preserve_context'`` to `True` on the WSGI environment the
context will not pop itself at the end of the request. This is used by
the :meth:`~flask.Flask.test_client` for example to implement the
deferred cleanup functionality.
You might find this helpful for unittests where you need the
information from the context local around for a little longer. Make
sure to properly :meth:`~werkzeug.LocalStack.pop` the stack yourself in
that situation, otherwise your unittests will leak memory.

Notes On Proxies
----------------
Some of the objects provided by Flask are proxies to other objects. The
reason behind this is that these proxies are shared between threads and
they have to dispatch to the actual object bound to a thread behind the
scenes as necessary.
Most of the time you don't have to care about that, but there are some
exceptions where it is good to know that this object is an actual proxy:
- The proxy objects do not fake their inherited types, so if you want to
perform actual instance checks, you have to do that on the instance
that is being proxied (see `_get_current_object` below).
- if the object reference is important (so for example for sending
:ref:`signals`)
If you need to get access to the underlying object that is proxied, you
can use the :meth:`~werkzeug.local.LocalProxy._get_current_object` method::
app = current_app._get_current_object()
my_signal.send(app)
