Method Details

### log(self, request)

Log a request's result to the logfile, by default in combined log format.

### startFactory(self)

This will be called before I begin listening on a Port or Connector.

It will only be called once, even if the factory is connected to multiple ports.

This can be used to perform 'unserialization' tasks that are best put off until things are actually running, such as connecting to a database, opening files, etcetera.

  Overrides:
    `twisted.internet.protocol.Factory.startFactory` (inherited documentation)

### stopFactory(self)

This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors.

This can be used to perform 'shutdown' tasks such as disconnecting database connections, closing files, etc.

It will be called, for example, before an application shuts down, if it was connected to a port.

  Overrides:
    `twisted.internet.protocol.Factory.stopFactory` (inherited documentation)

### _openLogFile(self, path)

Override in subclasses, e.g. to use lumberjack.

Class Variable Details

### HTTPChannel

`HTTPChannel` = `twisted.protocols.http.HTTPChannel`

### logPath

  Type:
    `None`
  Value:

        None
