[Twisted-Python] "blocking" on a response to a client

[Chris Withers]

Hi Again,

So, separate question: I have a client that's making a connection to a 
websocket from a server. The client needs to send an "auth" message once 
the websocket is up, and the client code shouldn't progress until it 
receives an affirmative response. How do I do this in a non-blocking way 
when using twisted? (inside an inlineDeferred method in this case!)

Similarly, how do I get this dance to happen again if the websocket 
drops? How would I do some kind of backoff on he connection retries?

And, icing on the cake, where can I find good examples of how to write 
automated tests for all of the above?

cheers,

Chris
