Known Subclasses:
HTTPPageGetter

Method Details

connectionMade(self)

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.
Overrides:
twisted.internet.protocol.BaseProtocol.connectionMade (inherited documentation)

lineReceived(self, line)

Override this for when each line is received.
Overrides:
twisted.protocols.basic.LineReceiver.lineReceived (inherited documentation)

rawDataReceived(self, data)

Override this for when raw data is received.
Overrides:
twisted.protocols.basic.LineReceiver.rawDataReceived (inherited documentation)
