class HTTPServlet(WebKit.Servlet.Servlet)

``

`A HTTP servlet.
HTTPServlet implements the respond() method to invoke methods such as
respondToGet() and respondToPut() depending on the type of HTTP request.
Example HTTP request methods are GET, POST, HEAD, etc.
Subclasses implement HTTP method FOO in the Python method respondToFoo.
Unsupported methods return a "501 Not Implemented" status.
Note that HTTPServlet inherits awake() and respond() methods from
Servlet and that subclasses may make use of these.

Method resolution order:
  HTTPServlet
  WebKit.Servlet.Servlet
  WebKit.Object.Object
  __builtin__.object
  MiscUtils.NamedValueAccess.NamedValueAccess

Methods defined here:

__init__(self)

lastModified(self, trans)
  `Get time of last modification.
  Return this object's Last-Modified time (as a float),
  or None (meaning don't know or not applicable).`

notImplemented(self, trans)

respond(self, trans)
  `Respond to a request.
  Invokes the appropriate respondToSomething() method depending on the
  type of request (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, ...).`

respondToHead(self, trans)
  `Respond to a HEAD request.
  A correct but inefficient implementation.`

Methods inherited from WebKit.Servlet.Servlet:

awake(self, trans)
  `Send the awake message.
  This message is sent to all objects that participate in the
  request-response cycle in a top-down fashion, prior to respond().
  Subclasses must invoke super.`

canBeReused(self)
  `Returns whether a single servlet instance can be reused.
  The default is True, but subclasses con override to return False.
  Keep in mind that performance may seriously be degraded if instances
  can't be reused. Also, there's no known good reasons not to reuse
  an instance. Remember the awake() and sleep() methods are invoked
  for every transaction. But just in case, your servlet can refuse
  to be reused.`

canBeThreaded(self)
  `Return whether the servlet can be multithreaded.
  This value should not change during the lifetime of the object.
  The default implementation returns False.
  Note: This is not currently used.`

close(self)

log(self, message)
  `Log a message.
  This can be invoked to print messages concerning the servlet.
  This is often used by self to relay important information back
  to developers.`

name(self)
  `Return the name which is simple the name of the class.
  Subclasses should *not* override this method.
  It is used for logging and debugging.`

open(self)

runMethodForTransaction(self, trans, method, *args, **kw)

runTransaction(self, trans)

serverSidePath(self, path=None)
  `Return the filesystem path of the page on the server.`

setFactory(self, factory)

sleep(self, trans)
  `Send the sleep message.`

Methods inherited from WebKit.Object.Object:

deprecated(self, method)
  `Output a deprecation warning.
  The implementation of WebKit sometimes invokes this method which prints
  a warning that the method you are using has been deprecated.
  This method expects that deprecated methods say so at the beginning of
  their doc string and terminate that msg with @. For example:
  DEPRECATED: Class.foo() on 01/24/01 in ver 0.5. Use Class.bar() instead. @
  Putting this information in the doc string is important for accuracy
  in the generated docs.
  Example call:
  deprecated(self.foo)`

Data descriptors inherited from WebKit.Object.Object:

__dict__
  `dictionary for instance variables (if defined)`

__weakref__
  `list of weak references to the object (if defined)`

Methods inherited from MiscUtils.NamedValueAccess.NamedValueAccess:

handleUnknownSetKey(self, key)

hasValueForKey(self, key)
  `Check whether key is available.
  Returns true if the key is available, although that does not guarantee
  that there will not be errors caused by retrieving the key.`

hasValueForName(self, keysString)
  `Check whether name is available.`

resetKeyBindings(self)
  `Rest all key bindings, releasing alreaedy referenced values.`

setValueForKey(self, key, value)
  `Set value for a given key.
  Suppose key is 'foo'.
  This method sets the value with the following precedence:
  1. Public attributes before private attributes
  2. Methods before non-methods
  More specifically, this method then uses one of the following:
  @@ 2000-03-04 ce: fill in
  ... or invokes handleUnknownSetKey().`

valueForKey(self, key, default=<class MiscUtils.NoDefault at 0x832da1c>)
  `Get value for given key.
  Suppose key is 'foo'.
  This method returns the value with the following precedence:
  1. Methods before non-methods
  2. Public attributes before private attributes
  More specifically, this method then returns one of the following:
  * foo()
  * _foo()
  * self.foo
  * self._foo
  ... or default, if it was specified,
  otherwise invokes and returns result of valueForUnknownKey().
  Note that valueForUnknownKey() normally returns an exception.
  See valueForName() which is a more advanced version of this method
  that allows multiple, qualified keys.`

valueForKeySequence(self, listOfKeys, default=None)
  `Get the value for the given list of keys.`

valueForName(self, keysString, default=None)
  `Get the value for the given keysString.
  This is the more advanced version of valueForKey(), which can only
  handle single names. This method can handle
  'foo', 'foo1.foo2', 'a.b.c.d', etc.
  It will traverse dictionaries if needed.`

valueForUnknownKey(self, key, default)

valuesForNames(self, keys, default=None, defaults=None, forgive=0, includeNames=0)
  `Get all values for given names.
  Returns a list of values that match the given keys, each of which is
  passed through valueForName() and so could be of the form 'a.b.c'.
  keys and defaults are sequences.
  default is any kind of object.
  forgive and includeNames are flags.
  If default is not None, then it is substituted when a key is not found.
  Otherwise, if defaults is not None, then it's corresponding/parallel
  value for the current key is substituted when a key is not found.
  Otherwise, if forgive is true, then unknown keys simply don't produce
  any values.
  Otherwise, if default and defaults are None, and forgive is false,
  then the unknown keys will probably raise an exception through
  valueForUnknownKey() although that method can always return
  a final, default value.
  if keys is None, then None is returned.
  If keys is an empty list, then None is returned.
  Often these last four arguments are specified by key.
  Examples:
  names = ['origin.x', 'origin.y', 'size.width', 'size.height']
  obj.valuesForNames(names)
  obj.valuesForNames(names, default=0.0)
  obj.valuesForNames(names, defaults=[0.0, 0.0, 100.0, 100.0])
  obj.valuesForNames(names, forgive=0)
  @@ 2000-03-04 ce: includeNames is only supported when forgive=1.
  It should be supported for the other cases.
  It should be documented.
  It should be included in the test cases.`
