class FileAuthority(common.ResolverBase): (source)

Known subclasses: twisted.names.authority.BindAuthority, twisted.names.authority.PySourceAuthority, twisted.names.secondary.SecondaryAuthority

View In Hierarchy

An Authority that is loaded from a file.

This is an abstract class that implements record search logic. To create a functional resolver, subclass it and override the loadFile method.

Method __init__ Undocumented
Method __setstate__ Undocumented
Method loadFile Load DNS records from a file.
Method lookupZone Perform an AXFR record lookup.
Instance Variable __dict__ Undocumented
Instance Variable records A mapping of domains (as lowercased bytes) to records.
Instance Variable soa A 2-tuple containing the SOA domain name as a bytes and a dns.Record_SOA.
Method _additionalRecords Find locally known information that could be useful to the consumer of the response and construct appropriate records to include in the additional section of that response.
Method _cbAllRecords Undocumented
Method _lookup Determine a response to a particular DNS query.
Instance Variable _ADDITIONAL_PROCESSING_TYPES Record types for which additional processing will be done.
Instance Variable _ADDRESS_TYPES Record types which are useful for inclusion in the additional section generated during additional processing.
Instance Variable _cache Undocumented

Undocumented

def loadFile(self, filename): (source)

Load DNS records from a file.

This method populates the soa and records attributes. It must be overridden in a subclass. It is called once from the initializer.

Parameters
filenameThe filename parameter that was passed to the initilizer.
Returns
None -- the return value is ignored
def lookupZone(self, name, timeout=10): (source)

Perform an AXFR record lookup.

NB This is quite different from other DNS requests. See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/axfr-notes.html for more information.

NB Unlike other lookup* methods, the timeout here is not a list of ints, it is a single int.

Parameters
nameDNS name to resolve.
timeoutWhen this timeout expires, the query is considered failed.
Returns
A Deferred which fires with a three-tuple of lists of twisted.names.dns.RRHeader instances. The first element of the tuple gives answers. The second and third elements are always empty. The Deferred may instead fail with one of the exceptions defined in twisted.names.error or with NotImplementedError.
__dict__ = (source)

Undocumented

def _additionalRecords(self, answer, authority, ttl): (source)

Find locally known information that could be useful to the consumer of the response and construct appropriate records to include in the additional section of that response.

Essentially, implement RFC 1034 section 4.3.2 step 6.

Parameters
answerA list of the records which will be included in the answer section of the response.
authorityA list of the records which will be included in the authority section of the response.
ttlThe default TTL for records for which this is not otherwise specified.
Returns
A generator of dns.RRHeader instances for inclusion in the additional section. These instances represent extra information about the records in answer and authority.
def _cbAllRecords(self, results): (source)

Undocumented

def _lookup(self, name, cls, type, timeout=None): (source)
Determine a response to a particular DNS query.
Parameters
name:bytesThe name which is being queried and for which to lookup a response.
cls:intThe class which is being queried. Only IN is implemented here and this value is presently disregarded.
type:intThe type of records being queried. See the types defined in twisted.names.dns.
timeoutAll processing is done locally and a result is available immediately, so the timeout value is ignored.
Returns
A Deferred that fires with a tuple of three sets of response records (to comprise the answer, authority, and additional sections of a DNS response) or with a Failure if there is a problem processing the query.
_ADDITIONAL_PROCESSING_TYPES = (source)
Record types for which additional processing will be done.
_ADDRESS_TYPES = (source)
Record types which are useful for inclusion in the additional section generated during additional processing.
