"Medium" here is the noun meaning "a means of transmission", not the adjective for "the quality between big and small."
Media carry the bytes of the requests somehow (e.g. via TCP, wrapped in HTTP, or over SSH), and pass them to and from the protocol logic. See the overview in bzrlib/transport/smart/__init__.py.
Class | SmartMedium | Base class for smart protocol media, both client- and server-side. |
Class | SmartServerStreamMedium | Handles smart commands coming over a stream. |
Class | SmartServerSocketStreamMedium | No class docstring; 3/9 methods documented |
Class | SmartServerPipeStreamMedium | No class docstring; 3/8 methods documented |
Class | SmartClientMediumRequest | A request on a SmartClientMedium. |
Class | SmartClientMedium | Smart client is a medium for sending smart protocol requests over. |
Class | SmartClientStreamMedium | Stream based medium common class. |
Class | SmartSimplePipesClientMedium | A client medium using simple pipes. |
Class | SSHParams | A set of parameters for starting a remote bzr via SSH. |
Class | SmartSSHClientMedium | A client medium using SSH. |
Class | SmartClientSocketMedium | A client medium using a socket. |
Class | SmartTCPClientMedium | A client medium that creates a TCP connection. |
Class | SmartClientAlreadyConnectedSocketMedium | A client medium for an already connected socket. |
Class | SmartClientStreamMediumRequest | A SmartClientMediumRequest that works with an SmartClientStreamMedium. |
Function | _get_protocol_factory_for_bytes | Determine the right protocol factory for 'bytes'. |
Function | _get_line | Read bytes using read_bytes_func until a newline byte. |
Class | _VfsRefuser | An object that refuses all VFS requests. |
Class | _DebugCounter | An object that counts the HPSS calls made to each client medium. |
Determine the right protocol factory for 'bytes'.
This will return an appropriate protocol factory depending on the version of the protocol being used, as determined by inspecting the given bytes. The bytes should have at least one newline byte (i.e. be a whole line), otherwise it's possible that a request will be incorrectly identified as version 1.
Typical use would be:
factory, unused_bytes = _get_protocol_factory_for_bytes(bytes) server_protocol = factory(transport, write_func, root_client_path) server_protocol.accept_bytes(unused_bytes)
Parameters | bytes | a str of bytes of the start of the request. |
Returns | 2-tuple of (protocol_factory, unused_bytes). protocol_factory is a callable that takes three args: transport, write_func, root_client_path. unused_bytes are any bytes that were not part of a protocol version marker. |
