In a specific case I'd like to respond with a text/html content-type for an error as follows:
class MyResource(Resource):
def get(self):
if some_condition:
return 'bad argument', 400
The code above returns an application/json content-type: '"bad argument"'
instead of a text/html content-type: 'bad argument'
How can I force flask-restful to respond with text/html content-type?

You'll have to use flask.make_response() to return a 'pre-baked' response object:
return flask.make_response('bad argument', 400)
Flask-Restful will pass full-on Response objects unaltered, rather than try and convert them to a specific requested mime type.
