Hi, I'm porting some code to twisted and got a little stuck. The current (non-twisted) code connects to a server, gives it some data (a job to do), gets a job-id and then terminates the connection. Sometime later, it reconnects and gets the output using the job-id.
I've a factory and protocol set up, with buildProtocol over-riden in the Factory class to supply some extra data to each Protocol instance when it's created. This is fine when I submit a job as I can call a factory function to generate the required data (ie the job to do). My problem is how to initiate a connection at some point in the future AND pass it some specific info (ie the job-id) for it to pass to the server. I start the connections using task.callingLoop and reactor.connectTCP so my first guess was to add: task.callLater(time, reactor.connectTCP, ...) to the connectionLost method of my Protocol. However, I cannot see how to pass in any extra information (ie the job-id) this way? I know I can store state in the Factory, so I guess I just need to know how to pass this to a scheduled invocation of the Protocol. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction here?
