class Message(WebKit.Object.Object) |
|
A very general message class.
Message is the abstract, parent class for both Request and Response,
and implements the behavior that is generic to both.
Messages have:
* A set of arguments.
* A protocol.
* A content type and length.
FUTURE
* Support for different types of encodings |

- Method resolution order:
- Message
- WebKit.Object.Object
- __builtin__.object
- MiscUtils.NamedValueAccess.NamedValueAccess
Methods defined here:
- __init__(self)
- arg(self, name, default=<class MiscUtils.NoDefault>)
- argNames(self)
- Returns a list of argument names.
- clearArgs(self)
- contentLength(self)
- Returns the length of the message body or -1 if not known.
- contentType(self)
- Returns the MIME type of the message body or None if not known.
- deleteArg(self, name)
- hasArg(self, name)
- protocol(self)
- Return the protocol-
Returns the name and version of the protocol the message uses
in the form protocol/majorVersion.minorVersion, for example, HTTP/1.1.
- setArg(self, name, value)
- writeExceptionReport(self, handler)
Data and other attributes defined here:
- exceptionReportAttrNames = ['args']
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 and other attributes inherited from WebKit.Object.Object:
- __dict__ = <dictproxy object>
- dictionary for instance variables (if defined)
- __weakref__ = <attribute '__weakref__' of 'Object' objects>
- list of weak references to the object (if defined)
Methods inherited from MiscUtils.NamedValueAccess.NamedValueAccess:
- hasValueForKey(self, key)
- 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)
- resetKeyBindings(self)
- setValueForKey(self, key, value)
- 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>)
- 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)
- valueForName(self, keysString, default=None)
- Returns 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)
- # Errors
- valuesForNames(self, keys, default=None, defaults=None, forgive=0, includeNames=0)
- 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 is a sequence. default is any kind of object. defaults is a sequence.
forgive and includeNames is a flag.
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=1, then unknown keys simply don't produce any values.
Otherwise, if default and defaults are None, and forgive=0, 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.
