A Protocol factory for clients.

This can be used together with the various connectXXX methods in reactors.

Method startedConnecting Called when a connection has been started.
Method clientConnectionFailed Called when a connection has failed to connect.
Method clientConnectionLost Called when an established connection is lost.

Inherited from Factory:

Class Method forProtocol Create a factory for the given protocol.
Method logPrefix Describe this factory for log messages.
Method doStart Make sure startFactory is called.
Method doStop Make sure stopFactory is called.
Method startFactory This will be called before I begin listening on a Port or Connector.
Method stopFactory This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors.
Method buildProtocol Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.
def startedConnecting(self, connector): (source)
Called when a connection has been started.

You can call connector.stopConnecting() to stop the connection attempt.

Parametersconnectora Connector object.
def clientConnectionFailed(self, connector, reason): (source)
Called when a connection has failed to connect.

It may be useful to call connector.connect() - this will reconnect.

def clientConnectionLost(self, connector, reason): (source)
Called when an established connection is lost.

It may be useful to call connector.connect() - this will reconnect.
