See

At the url mentioned above, pay attention to the parts about getChild
and putChild.

If you are using twisted.web2, then see

If your server is listening on port 8080, your URLs will look like this:

http://api.example.org:8080/auto/Ford
http://api.example.org:8080/auto/Chevy
http://api.example.org:8080/auto/add
http://api.example.org:8080/auto/delete
http://api.example.org:8080/dealer/inventory
http://api.example.org:8080/dealer/invoice

Hope this helps,
