def _makeGetterFactory(url, factoryFactory, *args, contextFactory=None, **kwargs): (source)

Create and connect an HTTP page getting factory.

Any additional positional or keyword arguments are used when calling factoryFactory.

Parameters	factoryFactory	Factory factory that is called with `url`, `args` and `kwargs` to produce the getter
	contextFactory	Context factory to use when creating a secure connection, defaulting to `None`
Returns	The factory created by `factoryFactory`

Parameters	url	An URL to parse. (type: `str` )
	defaultPort	An alternate value to use as the port if the URL does not include one. (type: `int` or `None` )
