Custom Protocols
================
.. note::
This is advanced usage, and most readers will not need such functionality.
You can change the behavior of Sanic's protocol by specifying a custom
protocol, which should be a subclass
of `asyncio.protocol <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-protocol.html#protocol-classes>`_.
This protocol can then be passed as the keyword argument ``protocol`` to the ``sanic.run`` method.
The constructor of the custom protocol class receives the following keyword
arguments from Sanic.
- ``loop``: an ``asyncio``-compatible event loop.
- ``connections``: a ``set`` to store protocol objects. When Sanic receives
``SIGINT`` or ``SIGTERM``, it executes ``protocol.close_if_idle`` for all protocol
objects stored in this set.
- ``signal``: a ``sanic.server.Signal`` object with the ``stopped`` attribute. When
Sanic receives ``SIGINT`` or ``SIGTERM``, ``signal.stopped`` is assigned ``True``.
- ``request_handler``: a coroutine that takes a ``sanic.request.Request`` object
and a ``response`` callback as arguments.
- ``error_handler``: a ``sanic.exceptions.Handler`` which is called when exceptions
are raised.
- ``request_timeout``: the number of seconds before a request times out.
- ``request_max_size``: an integer specifying the maximum size of a request, in bytes.
Example
-------
An error occurs in the default protocol if a handler function does not return
an ``HTTPResponse`` object.
By overriding the ``write_response`` protocol method, if a handler returns a
string it will be converted to an ``HTTPResponse object``.
