def childLink(self, name): (source)

Return the text that links to a child of the requested resource.

Parameters
name:bytesThe child resource
Returns
bytesA relative URL.
def finish(self): (source)

Override http.Request.finish for possible encoding.

Get a previously-remembered URL.

Returns
bytesAn absolute URL.
def getSession(self, sessionInterface=None, forceNotSecure=False): (source)

Check if there is a session cookie, and if not, create it.

By default, the cookie with be secure for HTTPS requests and not secure for HTTP requests. If for some reason you need access to the insecure cookie from a secure request you can set forceNotSecure = True.

Parameters
sessionInterfaceUndocumented
forceNotSecure:boolShould we retrieve a session that will be transmitted over HTTP, even if this Request was delivered over HTTPS?
def getStateToCopyFor(self, issuer): (source)

Gather state to send when I am serialized for a particular perspective.

I will default to calling getStateToCopy. Override this to customize this behavior.

def gotLength(self, length): (source)

Called when HTTP channel got length of content in this request.

This method is not intended for users.

Parameters
lengthThe length of the request body, as indicated by the request headers. None if the request headers do not indicate a length.

Find the addressed resource in this request's Site, and call self.render() with it.

See Also

appRootURL = (source)

Undocumented

defaultContentType: Optional[bytes] = (source)

A bytes giving the default Content-Type value to send in responses if no other value is set. None disables the default.

The URL path segments which have not (yet) been processed during resource traversal, as a list of bytes.

The URL path segments which have been processed during resource traversal, as a list of bytes.

Undocumented

If a session has already been created or looked up with Request.getSession, this will return that object. (This will always be the session that matches the security of the request; so if forceNotSecure is used on a secure request, this will not return that session.)

def _handleStar(self): (source)

Handle receiving a request whose path is '*'.

RFC 7231 defines an OPTIONS * request as being something that a client can send as a low-effort way to probe server capabilities or readiness. Rather than bother the user with this, we simply fast-path it back to an empty 200 OK. Any non-OPTIONS verb gets a 405 Method Not Allowed telling the client they can only use OPTIONS.

def _prePathURL(self, prepath): (source)

Undocumented

_inFakeHead: bool = (source)

Undocumented

_encoder = (source)

Undocumented

_insecureSession = (source)
