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 | connectionLost |
Called when the connection is shut down. |
| Method | dataReceived |
Called whenever data is received. |
| Method | logPrefix |
Return a prefix matching the class name, to identify log messages related to this protocol instance. |
| Class Variable | factory |
Undocumented |
Inherited from BaseProtocol:
| Method | connectionMade |
Called when a connection is made. |
| Method | makeConnection |
Make a connection to a transport and a server. |
| Instance Variable | connected |

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:bytes | 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. |
