def connectionMade(self): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocol

overrides twisted.internet.protocol.BaseProtocol.connectionMade

Called when a connection is made.

This may be considered the initializer of the protocol, because it is called when the connection is completed. For clients, this is called once the connection to the server has been established; for servers, this is called after an accept() call stops blocking and a socket has been received. If you need to send any greeting or initial message, do it here.

def headerReceived(self, line): (source)

Do pre-processing (for content-length) and store this header away. Enforce the per-request header limit.

Parameters line A line from the header section of a request, excluding the line delimiter. (type: str )

def checkPersistence(self, request, version): (source)

Check if the channel should close or not.

Parameters	request	The request most recently received over this channel against which checks will be made to determine if this connection can remain open after a matching response is returned.
	version	The version of the request. (type: `str` )
Returns	A flag which, if `True`, indicates that this connection may remain open to receive another request; if `False`, the connection must be closed in order to indicate the completion of the response to `request`. (type: `bool` )

def connectionLost(self, reason): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocol

overrides twisted.internet.protocol.Protocol.connectionLost

Called when the connection is shut down.

Clear any circular references here, and any external references to this Protocol. The connection has been closed.

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