t.w.h.HTTPFactory(protocol.ServerFactory) : class documentation

Part of twisted.web.http View Source View In Hierarchy

Known subclasses: twisted.web.server.Site

Factory for HTTP server.
Method __init__ Undocumented
Method buildProtocol Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.
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 log Log a request's result to the logfile, by default in combined log format.
Method _openLogFile Override in subclasses, e.g. to use twisted.python.logfile.
Method _escape Undocumented

Inherited from Factory (via ServerFactory):

Method doStart Make sure startFactory is called.
Method doStop Make sure stopFactory is called.
def __init__(self, logPath=None, timeout=60 * 60 * 12): (source)
Undocumented
def buildProtocol(self, addr): (source)

Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.

The returned instance will handle input on an incoming server connection, and an attribute "factory" pointing to the creating factory.

Override this method to alter how Protocol instances get created.
Parametersaddran object implementing twisted.internet.interfaces.IAddress
def startFactory(self): (source)

This will be called before I begin listening on a Port or Connector.

It will only be called once, even if the factory is connected to multiple ports.

This can be used to perform 'unserialization' tasks that are best put off until things are actually running, such as connecting to a database, opening files, etcetera.
def stopFactory(self): (source)

This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors.

This can be overridden to perform 'shutdown' tasks such as disconnecting database connections, closing files, etc.

It will be called, for example, before an application shuts down, if it was connected to a port. User code should not call this function directly.
def _openLogFile(self, path): (source)
Override in subclasses, e.g. to use twisted.python.logfile.
def _escape(self, s): (source)
Undocumented
def log(self, request): (source)
Log a request's result to the logfile, by default in combined log format.
