Parameters	channel	the channel we're connected to.
	queued	(deprecated) are we in the request queue, or can we start writing to the transport?

def getStateToCopyFor(self, issuer): (source)

Gather state to send when I am serialized for a particular perspective.

I will default to calling getStateToCopy. Override this to customize this behavior.

def sibLink(self, name): (source)

Return the text that links to a sibling of the requested resource.

def childLink(self, name): (source)

Return the text that links to a child of the requested resource.

Write data to the transport (if not responding to a HEAD request).

Parameters data A string to write to the response.

def finish(self): (source)

from twisted.web.iweb.IRequest

overrides twisted.web.http.Request.finish

@property
def session(self): (source)

If a session has already been created or looked up with Request.getSession, this will return that object. (This will always be the session that matches the security of the request; so if forceNotSecure is used on a secure request, this will not return that session.)

Returns the session attribute (type: Session or None)

def getSession(self, sessionInterface=None, forceNotSecure=False): (source)

from twisted.web.iweb.IRequest

Check if there is a session cookie, and if not, create it.

By default, the cookie with be secure for HTTPS requests and not secure for HTTP requests. If for some reason you need access to the insecure cookie from a secure request you can set forceNotSecure = True.

Parameters forceNotSecure Should we retrieve a session that will be transmitted over HTTP, even if this Request was delivered over HTTPS? (type: bool)

def _prePathURL(self, prepath): (source)

Undocumented

def prePathURL(self): (source)

from twisted.web.iweb.IRequest

Returns At any time during resource traversal, a str giving an absolute URL to the most nested resource which has yet been reached.

def URLPath(self): (source)

from twisted.web.iweb.IRequest

Returns A URLPath instance which identifies the URL for which this request is.

def rememberRootURL(self): (source)

from twisted.web.iweb.IRequest

Remember the currently-processed part of the URL for later recalling.

def getRootURL(self): (source)

from twisted.web.iweb.IRequest

Get a previously-remembered URL.

def _handleStar(self): (source)

Handle receiving a request whose path is '*'.

RFC 7231 defines an OPTIONS * request as being something that a client can send as a low-effort way to probe server capabilities or readiness. Rather than bother the user with this, we simply fast-path it back to an empty 200 OK. Any non-OPTIONS verb gets a 405 Method Not Allowed telling the client they can only use OPTIONS.
