twisted.protocols.policies.TimeoutMixin : API documentation

Mixin for protocols which wish to timeout connections.

Protocols that mix this in have a single timeout, set using setTimeout. When the timeout is hit, timeoutConnection is called, which, by default, closes the connection.

Class Variable	timeOut	The number of seconds after which to timeout the connection.
Method	callLater	Wrapper around `reactor.callLater` for test purpose.
Method	resetTimeout	Reset the timeout count down.
Method	setTimeout	Change the timeout period
Method	timeoutConnection	Called when the connection times out.
Method	__timedOut	Undocumented

timeOut =

The number of seconds after which to timeout the connection.

def callLater(self, period, func): (source)

Wrapper around reactor.callLater for test purpose.

def resetTimeout(self): (source)

Reset the timeout count down.

If the connection has already timed out, then do nothing. If the timeout has been cancelled (probably using setTimeout(None)), also do nothing.

It's often a good idea to call this when the protocol has received some meaningful input from the other end of the connection. "I've got some data, they're still there, reset the timeout".

def setTimeout(self, period): (source)

Change the timeout period

Parameters period The period, in seconds, to change the timeout to, or None to disable the timeout. (type: int or NoneType)

def __timedOut(self): (source)

Undocumented

def timeoutConnection(self): (source)

overridden in twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Client, twisted.mail.imap4.IMAP4Server, twisted.mail.pop3.AdvancedPOP3Client, twisted.mail.smtp.SMTP, twisted.mail.smtp.SMTPClient, twisted.protocols.ftp.FTP, twisted.protocols.memcache.MemCacheProtocol, twisted.web.http.HTTPChannel

Called when the connection times out.

Override to define behavior other than dropping the connection.
