twisted.internet.endpoints.HostnameEndpoint : API documentation

Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpoint

A name-based endpoint that connects to the fastest amongst the resolved host addresses.

Method	__init__	Create a `HostnameEndpoint`.
Method	connect	Attempts a connection to each resolved address, and returns a connection which is established first.
Class Variable	_DEFAULT_ATTEMPT_DELAY	The default time to use between attempts, in seconds, when no `attemptDelay` is given to `HostnameEndpoint.__init__`.
Instance Variable	_hostText	the textual representation of the hostname passed to the constructor. Used to pass to the reactor's hostname resolver. (type: `unicode`)
Instance Variable	_hostBytes	the encoded bytes-representation of the hostname passed to the constructor. Used to construct the `HostnameAddress` associated with this endpoint. (type: `bytes`)
Instance Variable	_hostStr	the native-string representation of the hostname passed to the constructor, used for exception construction (type: native `str`)
Instance Variable	_badHostname	a flag - hopefully false! - indicating that an invalid hostname was passed to the constructor. This might be a textual hostname that isn't valid IDNA, or non-ASCII bytes. (type: `bool`)
Method	_getNameResolverAndMaybeWarn	Retrieve a `nameResolver` callable and warn the caller's caller that using a reactor which doesn't provide `IReactorPluggableNameResolver` is deprecated.
Static Method	_hostAsBytesAndText	No summary
Method	_fallbackNameResolution	Resolve the hostname string into a tuple containing the host address. This is method is only used when the reactor does not provide `IReactorPluggableNameResolver`.

_DEFAULT_ATTEMPT_DELAY =

The default time to use between attempts, in seconds, when no attemptDelay is given to HostnameEndpoint.__init__.

_hostText =

the textual representation of the hostname passed to the constructor. Used to pass to the reactor's hostname resolver. (type: unicode)

_hostBytes =

the encoded bytes-representation of the hostname passed to the constructor. Used to construct the HostnameAddress associated with this endpoint. (type: bytes)

_hostStr =

the native-string representation of the hostname passed to the constructor, used for exception construction (type: native str)

_badHostname =

a flag - hopefully false! - indicating that an invalid hostname was passed to the constructor. This might be a textual hostname that isn't valid IDNA, or non-ASCII bytes. (type: bool)

def __init__(self, reactor, host, port, timeout=30, bindAddress=None, attemptDelay=None): (source)

Create a HostnameEndpoint.

Parameters	reactor	The reactor to use for connections and delayed calls. (type: provider of `IReactorTCP`, `IReactorTime` and either `IReactorPluggableNameResolver` or `IReactorPluggableResolver`.)
	host	A hostname to connect to. (type: `bytes` or `unicode`)
	port	The port number to connect to. (type: `int`)
	timeout	For each individual connection attempt, the number of seconds to wait before assuming the connection has failed. (type: `float` or `int`)
	bindAddress	the local address of the network interface to make the connections from. (type: `bytes`)
	attemptDelay	The number of seconds to delay between connection attempts. (type: `float`)

def _getNameResolverAndMaybeWarn(self, reactor): (source)

Retrieve a nameResolver callable and warn the caller's caller that using a reactor which doesn't provide IReactorPluggableNameResolver is deprecated.

Parameters	reactor	The reactor to check.
Returns	A `IHostnameResolver` provider.

@staticmethod
def _hostAsBytesAndText(host): (source)

For various reasons (documented in the @ivar's in the class docstring) we need both a textual and a binary representation of the hostname given to the constructor. For compatibility and convenience, we accept both textual and binary representations of the hostname, save the form that was passed, and convert into the other form. This is mostly just because HostnameAddress chose somewhat poorly to define its attribute as bytes; hopefully we can find a compatible way to clean this up in the future and just operate in terms of text internally.

Parameters	host	A hostname to convert. (type: `bytes` or `str`)
Returns	a 3-tuple of `(invalid, bytes, text)` where `invalid` is a boolean indicating the validity of the hostname, `bytes` is a binary representation of `host`, and `text` is a textual representation of `host`.

def connect(self, protocolFactory): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IStreamClientEndpoint

Attempts a connection to each resolved address, and returns a connection which is established first.

Parameters	protocolFactory	The protocol factory whose protocol will be connected. (type: `IProtocolFactory`)
Returns	A `Deferred` that fires with the connected protocol or fails a connection-related error.

def _fallbackNameResolution(self, host, port): (source)

Resolve the hostname string into a tuple containing the host address. This is method is only used when the reactor does not provide IReactorPluggableNameResolver.

Parameters	host	A unicode hostname to resolve.
	port	The port to include in the resolution.
Returns	A `Deferred` that fires with `_getaddrinfo`'s return value.
