Class BaseProtocol
- Known Subclasses:

    Protocol
This is the abstract superclass of all protocols.
If you are going to write a new protocol for Twisted, start here. The 
docstrings of this class explain how you can get started. Any protocol 
implementation, either client or server, should be a subclass of me.
My API is quite simple. Implement dataReceived(data) to handle both 
event-based and synchronous input; output can be sent through the 
'transport' attribute, which is to be an instance that implements 
twisted.internet.interfaces.ITransport.
Some subclasses exist already to help you write common types of 
protocols: see the twisted.protocols.basic module for a few 
of them.
  | Method Summary | 
|  | connectionMade(self)Called when a connection is made.
 | 
|  | makeConnection(self,
          transport)Make a connection to a transport and a server.
 | 
| connectionMade(self)
  Called when a connection is made.This may be considered the initializer of the protocol, because it 
  is called when the connection is completed. For clients, this is called 
  once the connection to the server has been established; for servers, 
  this is called after an accept() call stops blocking and a socket has 
  been received. If you need to send any greeting or initial message, do 
  it here. 
  
 | 
| makeConnection(self,
          transport)
  Make a connection to a transport and a server.This sets the 'transport' attribute of this Protocol, and calls the 
  connectionMade() callback.
