Class _ReadBodyProtocol Protocol that collects data sent to it.
def urlunparse(parts): (source)
Undocumented
def _urljoin(base, url): (source)

Construct a full ("absolute") URL by combining a "base URL" with another URL. Informally, this uses components of the base URL, in particular the addressing scheme, the network location and (part of) the path, to provide missing components in the relative URL.

Additionally, the fragment identifier is preserved according to the HTTP 1.1 bis draft.

ParametersbaseBase URL. (type: bytes)
urlURL to combine with base. (type: bytes)
ReturnsAn absolute URL resulting from the combination of base and url.
See Alsourlparse.urljoin
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-22#section-7.1.2
def _makeGetterFactory(url, factoryFactory, *args, contextFactory=None, **kwargs): (source)

Create and connect an HTTP page getting factory.

Any additional positional or keyword arguments are used when calling factoryFactory.

ParametersfactoryFactoryFactory factory that is called with url, args and kwargs to produce the getter
contextFactoryContext factory to use when creating a secure connection, defaulting to None
ReturnsThe factory created by factoryFactory
def getPage(url, *args, contextFactory=None, **kwargs): (source)

Download a web page as a string.

Download a page. Return a deferred, which will callback with a page (as a string) or errback with a description of the error.

See HTTPClientFactory to see what extra arguments can be passed.

def downloadPage(url, file, *args, contextFactory=None, **kwargs): (source)

Download a web page to a file.

Parametersfilepath to file on filesystem, or file-like object.

See HTTPDownloader to see what extra args can be passed.

def _requireSSL(decoratee): (source)

The decorated method requires pyOpenSSL to be present, or it raises NotImplementedError.

ParametersdecorateeA function which requires pyOpenSSL. (type: callable)
ReturnsA function which raises NotImplementedError if pyOpenSSL is not installed; otherwise, if it is installed, simply return decoratee. (type: callable)
def readBody(response): (source)

Get the body of an IResponse and return it as a byte string.

This is a helper function for clients that don't want to incrementally receive the body of an HTTP response.

ParametersresponseThe HTTP response for which the body will be read. (type: IResponse provider)
ReturnsA Deferred which will fire with the body of the response. Cancelling it will close the connection to the server immediately.
