twisted.web.client.ContentDecoderAgent(object) class documentation

Part of twisted.web.client View Source (View In Hierarchy)

Implements interfaces: twisted.web.iweb.IAgent

An Agent wrapper to handle encoded content.

It takes care of declaring the support for content in the Accept-Encoding header, and automatically decompresses the received data if it's effectively using compression.

ParametersdecodersA list or tuple of (name, decoder) objects. The name declares which decoding the decoder supports, and the decoder must return a response object when called/instantiated. For example, (('gzip', GzipDecoder)). The order determines how the decoders are going to be advertized to the server.
