Known subclasses: twisted.web.client.HTTPPageDownloader

Gets a resource via HTTP, then quits.

Typically used with HTTPClientFactory. Note that this class does not, by itself, do anything with the response. If you want to download a resource into a file, use HTTPPageDownloader instead.

Method connectionMade Called when a connection is made.
Method handleHeader Called every time a header is received. Stores the header information as key-value pairs in the headers attribute.
Method handleStatus Handle the HTTP status line.
Method handleEndHeaders Called when all headers have been received.
Method handleStatus_200 Undocumented
Method handleStatusDefault Undocumented
Method handleStatus_301 Undocumented
Method handleStatus_302 Undocumented
Method handleStatus_303 Undocumented
Method connectionLost When the connection used to issue the HTTP request is closed, notify the factory if we have not already, so it can produce a result.
Method handleResponse Undocumented
Method timeout Undocumented
Instance Variable _completelyDone A boolean indicating whether any further requests are necessary after this one completes in order to provide a result to self.factory.deferred. If it is False, then a redirect is going to be followed. Otherwise, this protocol's connection is the last one before firing the result Deferred. This is used to make sure the result Deferred is only fired after the connection is cleaned up.

def connectionMade(self): (source)

Called when a connection is made.

This may be considered the initializer of the protocol, because it is called when the connection is completed. For clients, this is called once the connection to the server has been established; for servers, this is called after an accept() call stops blocking and a socket has been received. If you need to send any greeting or initial message, do it here.

def handleHeader(self, key, value): (source)

Called every time a header is received. Stores the header information as key-value pairs in the headers attribute.

ParameterskeyAn HTTP header field name. (type: str)
valueAn HTTP header field value. (type: str)
def handleStatus(self, version, status, message): (source)

Handle the HTTP status line.

ParametersversionThe HTTP version. (type: bytes)
statusThe HTTP status code, an integer represented as a bytestring. (type: bytes)
messageThe HTTP status message. (type: bytes)
def handleEndHeaders(self): (source)

Called when all headers have been received.

def connectionLost(self, reason): (source)

When the connection used to issue the HTTP request is closed, notify the factory if we have not already, so it can produce a result.
