self.stream_factory.protocol _isn't_ an HTTPPageDownloader.  It _is_
HTTPPageDownloader.  Only connected instances have a transport attribute.

You'll need to get a reference to a connected instance and use that, rather
than using the class object.  You may want to do this by overriding the
connectionMade method on an HTTPPageDownloader subclass.
