Twisted HTTP Proxy Channel set to None on LostConnection but loseConnection hasn't been called yet

Ok I have been writing a proxy to take http GET requests and translate them into HTTP POST requests (because a lot of media players for python only support GET). So I know am working on caching those results that way I only download a url once, I moved a lot of code from the super class to the sub class and changed it so that I could send the same thing to multiple server connections (e.g if a server connection was made I would just attach it to a download instance if available).

Anyways, it mostly works except the last part for some reason the http channel is set to None before I call loseConnection (this is without any errors like the internet going out etc), this results in an error that a None object has no attribute transport that I am calling loseConnection on.

Here is the code

    self.connectionDone = True
    print self.producers
    for p in self.producers:
   开发者_开发百科     print p
        print p.channel
        print dir(p)
        p.channel.transport.loseConnection()

    self.transport.loseConnection()

and the traceback of self.channel being set to none (traceback module's print_stack on each setattr call)

Note: Look at the last few lines, I think that is where the problem is.

This is the none attribute exception I get

Connections may be lost without the internet going out. All it takes is for one side of the connection to call shutdown() or close(). Have you ruled that out? And even if you have, for the code to be correct, it needs to handle that possibility anyway, because it might happen at some other time. See Request.notifyFinish.
