Kamaelia.Protocol.MimeRequestComponent

component MimeRequestComponent

Mime Request Component.

Takes a request of the form:

XXXXX <url> PROTO/Ver Key: value Key: value Content-Length: value Key: value >>blank line<< >body text<

And converts it into a python object that contains:: requestMethod : string url : string Protocol : string Protocol Version : string (not parsed into a number) KeyValues : dict body : raw data

Has a default inbox, and a default outbox. Requests data comes in the inbox. MimeRequest objects come out the outbox.

Kamaelia.Protocol.MimeRequestComponent.MimeRequestComponent

class MimeRequestComponent(Axon.Component.component)

Component that accepts raw data, parses it into consituent parts of a MIME request. Attempts no interpretation of the request however.

Methods defined here

Warning!

You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods (except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.

init(self)

checkEndOfHeader(self)

getALine(self)

Sets the CURRENT line arguments

getData(self)

getRequestLine(self)

Sets the REQUEST line arguments

handleDataAquisition(self)

This is currently clunky and effectively implements a state machine. Should consider rewriting as a generator

initialiseComponent(self)

mainBody(self)

nextLine(self)

readHeader(self)
