Hi, My usecase is this:
When all headers of an HTTP request are received I want to ask a remote service if the request should be accepted and what to do with it. Before I got the response for the remote service, I don't want to receive/read HTTP data. The response is returned via an deferred. The HTTP data might be a 10G file which might be rejected.. for example due to quota limits. Here is a gist with a short example and my quick and dirty fix: https://gist.github.com/adiroiban/621efeab47662a04cb20 ------ Do you think this is a valid use case and that someone would be willing to review a patch to add such a feature? ------- I first went on a wrong path as I was calling self.transport.pauseProducing() instead of self.pauseProducing() but while reading the code I found this: In http.HTTPChannel self.transport.producerPaused is confusing as it is always False.. and looking at the code from internet/abstract.py I can see that it is not touched by pauseProducing() ... how should producerPaused be used? Is this a bug or a feature? Is there a ticket for it? I saw that when you return a non-zero value from lineReceived() it will stop processing the remaining data but I could not find the documentation for this behaviour. Should I continue searching for the documentation ? or file a ticket?
