The package rpc is not compatible with App Engine.

One of the problems is that the server is designed to keep a persistent connection with
a client, and can't be setup to serve ephemeral individual requests.

Other problem is that the client makes a request using a CONNECT HTTP method, not
supported on App Engine.

And finally, the request is not available in RPC methods, so you can't get an App Engine
context to do anything useful.

I won't propose a solution because I am not familiar enough with the rpc package, but
let's keep it registered.

Comment 1:

Maybe there should be an rpc/httprpc that uses a
single HTTP call per method.  Maybe not.

Status changed to LongTerm.

Comment 4:

Please close this issue. I had wrong expectations about the net/rpc package. RPC over
HTTP using non-persistent connections should be a different package.
