Request handler¶

class supercell.api.requesthandler.RequestHandler(application, request, **kwargs)[source]¶

supercell request handler.

The only difference to the tornado.web.RequestHandler is an adopted RequestHandler._execute_method() method that will handle the consuming and providing of request inputs and results.

config[source]¶

Convinience method for accessing the environment.

decode_argument(value, name=None)[source]¶

Overwrite the default RequestHandler.decode_argument() method in order to allow latin1 encoded URLs.

environment[source]¶

Convinience method for accessing the environment.

logger[source]¶

Use this property to write to the log files.

In a request handler you would simply log messages like this:

def get(self):
    self.logger.info('A test')

request_id[source]¶

Return a unique id per request. Collisions are allowed but should should not occur within a 10 minutes time window.

The current implementation is based on a timestamp in milliseconds substracted by a large number to make the id smaller.
