Method Summary
| ``clientConnectionFailed`(self, connector, reason)` Called when a connection has failed to connect.
| ``clientConnectionLost`(self, connector, reason)` Called when an established connection is lost.
| ``startedConnecting`(self, connector)` Called when a connection has been started.
Inherited from Factory
| ``buildProtocol`(self, addr)` Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.
| ``doStart`(self)` Make sure startFactory is called.
| ``doStop`(self)` Make sure stopFactory is called.
| ``startFactory`(self)` This will be called before I begin listening on a Port or Connector.
| ``stopFactory`(self)` This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors.

Method Details

### clientConnectionFailed(self, connector, reason) Called when a connection has failed to connect. It may be useful to call connector.connect() - this will reconnect. Parameters: `reason` (type=`twisted.python.failure.Failure`)

### clientConnectionLost(self, connector, reason) Called when an established connection is lost. It may be useful to call connector.connect() - this will reconnect. Parameters: `reason` (type=`twisted.python.failure.Failure`)

### startedConnecting(self, connector) Called when a connection has been started. You can call connector.stopConnecting() to stop the connection attempt. Parameters: `connector` - a Connector object.
