version_hash

The version hash to use for cache hints for static files

write_error(status_code, **kwargs)

render custom error pages

class IPython.html.base.handlers.APIHandler(application, request, **kwargs)

Bases: IPython.html.base.handlers.IPythonHandler

Base class for API handlers

check_origin()

Copied from WebSocket with changes:

• allow unspecified host/origin (e.g. scripts)

class IPython.html.base.handlers.Template404(application, request, **kwargs)

Bases: IPython.html.base.handlers.IPythonHandler

Render our 404 template

class IPython.html.base.handlers.AuthenticatedFileHandler(application, request, **kwargs)

Bases: IPython.html.base.handlers.IPythonHandler, tornado.web.StaticFileHandler

static files should only be accessible when logged in

validate_absolute_path(root, absolute_path)

Validate and return the absolute path.

Requires tornado 3.1

Adding to tornado’s own handling, forbids the serving of hidden files.

class IPython.html.base.handlers.FileFindHandler(application, request, **kwargs)

Bases: IPython.html.base.handlers.IPythonHandler, tornado.web.StaticFileHandler

subclass of StaticFileHandler for serving files from a search path

classmethod get_absolute_path(roots, path)

locate a file to serve on our static file search path

validate_absolute_path(root, absolute_path)

check if the file should be served (raises 404, 403, etc.)

class IPython.html.base.handlers.APIVersionHandler(application, request, **kwargs)

Bases: IPython.html.base.handlers.APIHandler

class IPython.html.base.handlers.TrailingSlashHandler(application, request, **kwargs)

Bases: tornado.web.RequestHandler

Simple redirect handler that strips trailing slashes

This should be the first, highest priority handler.

class IPython.html.base.handlers.FilesRedirectHandler(application, request, **kwargs)

Bases: IPython.html.base.handlers.IPythonHandler

Handler for redirecting relative URLs to the /files/ handler

static redirect_to_files(path)

make redirect logic a reusable static method

so it can be called from other handlers.

1 Function

IPython.html.base.handlers.json_errors(method)

Decorate methods with this to return GitHub style JSON errors.

This should be used on any JSON API on any handler method that can raise HTTPErrors.

This will grab the latest HTTPError exception using sys.exc_info and then:

1. Set the HTTP status code based on the HTTPError
2. Create and return a JSON body with a message field describing the error in a human readable form.
