twisted.web.client.ContentDecoderAgent : API documentation

class twisted.web.client.ContentDecoderAgent: (source)

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 the Content-Encoding header indicates a supported encoding.

For example:

    agent = ContentDecoderAgent(Agent(reactor),
                                [(b'gzip', GzipDecoder)])

Parameters	agent	The agent to wrap
	decoders	A sequence of (name, decoder) objects. The name declares which encoding the decoder supports. The decoder must accept an `IResponse` and return an `IResponse` when called. The order determines how the decoders are advertised to the server. Names must be unique.not be duplicated.
