class documentation

`class ContentDecoderAgent: (source)`

Implements interfaces: `twisted.web.iweb.IAgent`

View In Hierarchy

An `Agent` wrapper to handle encoded content.

It takes care of declaring the support for content in the Accept-Encoding header and automatically decompresses the received data if the Content-Encoding header indicates a supported encoding.

For example:

        agent = ContentDecoderAgent(Agent(reactor),
                                    [(b'gzip', GzipDecoder)])

Parameters
agent | The agent to wrap
decoders | A sequence of (name, decoder) objects. The name declares which encoding the decoder supports. The decoder must accept an `IResponse` and return an `IResponse` when called. The order determines how the decoders are advertised to the server. Names must be unique.not be duplicated.
