Undocumented

def buildProtocol(self, addr): (source)

Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.

The returned instance will handle input on an incoming server connection, and an attribute "factory" pointing to the creating factory.

Override this method to alter how Protocol instances get created.

Parameters addr an object implementing twisted.internet.interfaces.IAddress

def clientConnectionFailed(self, _, reason): (source)

Called when a connection has failed to connect.

It may be useful to call connector.connect() - this will reconnect.

Parameters reason (type: twisted.python.failure.Failure )
