The cinder.wsgi.common Module

Utility methods for working with WSGI servers.

class Application

Bases: object

Base WSGI application wrapper. Subclasses need to implement __call__.

classmethod factory(global_config, **local_config)

Used for paste app factories in paste.deploy config files.

Any local configuration (that is, values under the [app:APPNAME] section of the paste config) will be passed into the __init__ method as kwargs.

A hypothetical configuration would look like:

[app:wadl] latest_version = 1.3 paste.app_factory = cinder.api.fancy_api:Wadl.factory

which would result in a call to the Wadl class as

import cinder.api.fancy_api fancy_api.Wadl(latest_version=‘1.3’)

You could of course re-implement the factory method in subclasses, but using the kwarg passing it shouldn’t be necessary.

class Middleware(application)

Bases: cinder.wsgi.common.Application

Base WSGI middleware.

These classes require an application to be initialized that will be called next. By default the middleware will simply call its wrapped app, or you can override __call__ to customize its behavior.

classmethod factory(global_config, **local_config)

Used for paste app factories in paste.deploy config files.

Any local configuration (that is, values under the [filter:APPNAME] section of the paste config) will be passed into the __init__ method as kwargs.

A hypothetical configuration would look like:

[filter:analytics] redis_host = 127.0.0.1 paste.filter_factory = cinder.api.analytics:Analytics.factory

which would result in a call to the Analytics class as

import cinder.api.analytics analytics.Analytics(app_from_paste, redis_host=‘127.0.0.1’)

You could of course re-implement the factory method in subclasses, but using the kwarg passing it shouldn’t be necessary.

process_request(req)

Called on each request.

If this returns None, the next application down the stack will be executed. If it returns a response then that response will be returned and execution will stop here.

process_response(response)

Do whatever you’d like to the response.

class Request(environ, charset=None, unicode_errors=None, decode_param_names=None, **kw)

Bases: webob.request.Request
