twisted.web.resource.Resource : API documentation

This will not be called if the class-level variable 'isLeaf' is set in your subclass; instead, the 'postpath' attribute of the request will be left as a list of the remaining path elements.

For example, the URL /foo/bar/baz will normally be:

 | site.resource.getChild('foo').getChild('bar').getChild('baz').

However, if the resource returned by 'bar' has isLeaf set to true, then the getChild call will never be made on it.

Parameters and return value have the same meaning and requirements as those defined by IResource.getChildWithDefault.

def getChildWithDefault(self, path, request): (source)

from twisted.web.resource.IResource

overridden in twisted.web.script.ResourceScriptWrapper

Retrieve a static or dynamically generated child resource from me.

First checks if a resource was added manually by putChild, and then call getChild to check for dynamic resources. Only override if you want to affect behaviour of all child lookups, rather than just dynamic ones.

This will check to see if I have a pre-registered child resource of the given name, and call getChild if I do not.

See Also IResource.getChildWithDefault

def getChildForRequest(self, request): (source)

Undocumented

def putChild(self, path, child): (source)

from twisted.web.resource.IResource

Register a static child.

You almost certainly don't want '/' in your path. If you intended to have the root of a folder, e.g. /foo/, you want path to be ''.

See Also IResource.putChild

def render(self, request): (source)

from twisted.web.resource.IResource

overridden in twisted.web.distrib.ResourceSubscription, twisted.web.proxy.ReverseProxyResource, twisted.web.resource.ErrorPage, twisted.web.rewrite.RewriterResource, twisted.web.script.PythonScript, twisted.web.script.ResourceScriptDirectory, twisted.web.script.ResourceScriptWrapper, twisted.web.soap.SOAPPublisher, twisted.web.static.ASISProcessor, twisted.web.static.DirectoryLister, twisted.web.static.Redirect, twisted.web.twcgi.CGIDirectory, twisted.web.twcgi.CGIScript, twisted.web.util.DeferredResource, twisted.web.util.ParentRedirect, twisted.web.util.Redirect, twisted.web.vhost.NameVirtualHost

Render a given resource. See IResource's render method.

I delegate to methods of self with the form 'render_METHOD' where METHOD is the HTTP that was used to make the request. Examples: render_GET, render_HEAD, render_POST, and so on. Generally you should implement those methods instead of overriding this one.

render_METHOD methods are expected to return a byte string which will be the rendered page, unless the return value is server.NOT_DONE_YET, in which case it is this class's responsibility to write the results using request.write(data) and then call request.finish().

Old code that overrides render() directly is likewise expected to return a byte string or NOT_DONE_YET.
