class twisted.protocols.basic.StatefulStringProtocol: (source)
Known subclasses: twisted.protocols.amp.BinaryBoxProtocol
A stateful string protocol.
This is a mixin for string protocols (Int32StringReceiver, NetstringReceiver) which translates stringReceived into a callback (prefixed with 'proto_') depending on state.
The state 'done' is special; if a proto_* method returns it, the connection will be closed immediately.
| Instance Variable | state | Current state of the protocol. Defaults to 'init'. |
| Method | stringReceived | Choose a protocol phase function and call it. |
Choose a protocol phase function and call it.
Call back to the appropriate protocol phase; this begins with the function proto_init and moves on to proto_* depending on what each proto_* function returns. (For example, if self.proto_init returns 'foo', then self.proto_foo will be the next function called when a protocol message is received.
