I gave you the "contributor" role which hopefully will let you do a few more things with tickets. Jean-Paul

Adding service to virtual path
by Eric Chamberlain 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

I'm trying to add a single service to a virtual path like http://localhost:8080/geospatial/geocoder/XMLRPC. Version info: Twisted: 9.0 Python: 2.6 The following code does not work: root = resource.Resource() srv = XMLRPCGeocoder() root.putChild("geospatial/geocoder/XMLRPC", srv) When I attempt to access the service, twisted gives the following error: Request failed: <ProtocolError for localhost:8080/geospatial/geocoder/XMLRPC: 404 Not Found> If I use the following code, and change the client to point only to localhost:8080/XMLRPC, it _does_ work: root.putChild("XMLRPC", srv) The docs say something about using putChild.putChild... so I tried the following: root.putChild("geospatial", None).putChild("geocoder", None).putChild("XMLRPC", srv) The problem is Resource.putChild _always_ returns None! Even the following, which is the working version: print root.putChild("XMLRPC", srv) # Prints None too Looking at twisted.web.resource.Resource's source code, all it does is add the path to a hash array and returns nothing... It seems like such a simple thing to do!

t.w.client.downloadPage with large amount of postData
by Giorgos Logiotatidis 10 Oct '10

10 Oct '10

Hello everyone, I'm writing a client that is using t.w.client.downloadPage function to download a large chunk of data into a file from a webserver. This is working fine. Now I want use the same function (or at least take advantage of the "save to file" functionality) and be able to send along with my request a large chunk of data, without storing that chunk into memory. To clarify my need here is an example (1) client -> POST <large data file> -> server (2) server computes (3) server -> <REPLY with large data file> -> client the (3) step is done in a memory efficient way using t.w.c.downloadPage(). Right now I execute the (1) step using the "postData" argument of t.w.c.downloadPage after loading all data into memory. Is there a way I can avoid loading all data into memory? Thank you in advance, -Giorgos Logiotatidis

How to handle interrupted responses in nevow?
by Peter Westlake 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

J.P's excellent article http://jcalderone.livejournal.com/50890.html explains how to avoid calling Request.finish() on a request after its connection was lost, because that now raises an exception. The code in the article is able to avoid calling finish() because it handles the rendering itself. The call to finish() is right there in _delayedRender. But I'm using Nevow (because it's awesome) and all that stuff is done behind the scenes, where I can't get to it. My application has a form, which uses the Post/Redirect/Get pattern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get) to avoid double-posting. Because processing is not instant, the browser receives the HTTP header telling it to redirect before the processing has finished. When the processing finishes, the Deferred embedded in the web page fires with a value, Stan finishes flattening the page, and Nevow calls Request.finish(). By then the browser has closed the connection and sent in the GET request. So I get an error every single time. What is the correct method to tell Nevow to abandon the request, please? This is a completely self-contained example, to be run with twistd: from nevow import tags, inevow, loaders, appserver from nevow.rend import Page from nevow.url import URL from twisted.internet.task import deferLater from twisted.internet import reactor from twisted.application import service from twisted.application.internet import TCPServer from twisted.web import http class Redirector(Page): count = 0 message = 0 def _increment(self): self.count += 1 return self.count def slow_operation(self): return deferLater(reactor, 3, self._increment) def beforeRender(self, ctx): req = inevow.IRequest(ctx) if req.method == 'POST': oldurl = URL.fromContext(ctx) newurl = oldurl.remove('cmd') req.setResponseCode(http.SEE_OTHER) req.setHeader("Location", newurl) self.message = self.slow_operation() def render_message(self, ctx, data): return self.message docFactory = loaders.stan( tags.html[ tags.head[tags.title['Slow page']], tags.body[ tags.h1['Problem with interrupted connections'], tags.form(method='post', action='')[ tags.button(type='submit', name='cmd', value='click')[ 'Click' ] ], tags.p(render=tags.directive('message')) ] ] ) application = service.Application('Demo') site = appserver.NevowSite(Redirector()) webservice = TCPServer(8123, site) webservice.setName('WUI') webservice.setServiceParent(application) Thanks in advance, Peter.

Possible bug in nevow.testutil.FakeRequest setHeaders and getHeaders
by Peter Westlake 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Recently my nevow web server's unit tests started to fail, because the tests used request.getHeader() to check that request.setHeader() had been called correctly. This used to work. I can see from testutil.py that setHeaders sets self.headers, but getHeaders gets a value from received_headers, and there is a test in test_testutil.py to make sure it does. So is this really how it is meant to work? Is setHeader really meant to set something that getHeader can't get? If so, what's the correct method for testing the result of setHeader? To reproduce the problem, run this with "trial": from nevow.testutil import FakeRequest, TestCase class TestHeaders(TestCase): def setUp(self): self.request = FakeRequest() def test_set(self): self.request.setHeader('location', 'somewhere') self.failUnlessEqual(self.request.getHeader('location'), 'somewhere') Peter.
