Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.ILoggingContext, twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocol
This is the base class for streaming connection-oriented protocols.
If you are going to write a new connection-oriented protocol for Twisted, start here. Any protocol implementation, either client or server, should be a subclass of this class.
The API is quite simple. Implement dataReceived
to handle both event-based and synchronous input; output can be sent
through the 'transport' attribute, which is to be an instance that
implements twisted.internet.interfaces.ITransport.
Override connectionLost to be notified when the connection
ends.
Some subclasses exist already to help you write common types of
protocols: see the twisted.protocols.basic
module for a few of them.
| Method | logPrefix | Return a prefix matching the class name, to identify log messages related to this protocol instance. |
| Method | dataReceived | Called whenever data is received. |
| Method | connectionLost | Called when the connection is shut down. |
Inherited from BaseProtocol:
| Method | makeConnection | Make a connection to a transport and a server. |
| Method | connectionMade | Called when a connection is made. |
Return a prefix matching the class name, to identify log messages related to this protocol instance.
Called whenever data is received.
Use this method to translate to a higher-level message. Usually, some callback will be made upon the receipt of each complete protocol message.
| Parameters | data | a string of indeterminate length. Please keep in mind that you will probably need to buffer some data, as partial (or multiple) protocol messages may be received! I recommend that unit tests for protocols call through to this method with differing chunk sizes, down to one byte at a time. |
Called when the connection is shut down.
Clear any circular references here, and any external references to this Protocol. The connection has been closed.
