Dear all,
The subject says most of it. While diagnosing a behavior on a somewhat
large codebase, I found out something somewhat surprising -- see
subject -- which is replicated with the minimal code example below.
It is a LineReceiver client that:
1. Connects to 127.0.0.1:10000.
2. Sends a line of text.
3. Disconnects one second later.
4. Tries to send another line of text, one second after disconnection.
I expected step 4 to fail somehow, given that Twisted promptly
detected that the connection closed and IProtocol.connectionLost was
called, as documented. Nevertheless, it does not fail.
So the questions are:
a) Why does it not fail? I'm sure there is a good reason for that, as
most things do in Twisted.
b) Does a protocol implementation, like the one in the example, really
need to track connectionMade / connectionLost calls before going for
self.transport.write?
c) Can a protocol implementation, instead, depend on
self.transport.connected for which I found no documentation? (I
probably missed it, where is it?)
Thanks in advance for enlightening me. :-)
Regards,
