t.w.h.HeaderHandler(object) : class documentation

HeaderHandler manages header generating and parsing functions.

Method	__init__
Method	parse	Parse the given header based on its given name.
Method	generate	Generate the given header based on its given name.
Method	updateParsers	Update en masse the parser maps.
Method	addParser	Add an individual parser chain for the given header.
Method	updateGenerators	Update en masse the generator maps.
Method	addGenerators	Add an individual generator chain for the given header.
Method	update	Conveniently update parsers and generators all at once.

def __init__(self, parsers=None, generators=None): (source)

Parameters	parsers	A map of header names to parsing functions. (type: `dict` )
	generators	A map of header names to generating functions. (type: `dict` )

def parse(self, name, header): (source)

Parse the given header based on its given name.

Parameters	name	The header name to parse. (type: `str` )
	header	A list of unparsed headers. (type: `list` of `str` )
Returns	The return value is the parsed header representation, it is dependent on the header. See the HTTP Headers document.

def generate(self, name, header): (source)

Generate the given header based on its given name.

Parameters	name	The header name to generate. (type: `str` )
	header	A parsed header, such as the output of `HeaderHandler`.parse.
Returns	`list` of `str` each representing a generated HTTP header.

def updateParsers(self, parsers): (source)

Update en masse the parser maps.

Parameters parsers Map of header names to parser chains. (type: dict )

def addParser(self, name, value): (source)

Add an individual parser chain for the given header.

Parameters	name	Name of the header to add (type: `str` )
	value	The parser chain (type: `str` )

def updateGenerators(self, generators): (source)

Update en masse the generator maps.

Parameters parsers Map of header names to generator chains. (type: dict )

def addGenerators(self, name, value): (source)

Add an individual generator chain for the given header.

Parameters	name	Name of the header to add (type: `str` )
	value	The generator chain (type: `str` )

def update(self, parsers, generators): (source)

Conveniently update parsers and generators all at once.
