The Transport Class

Experimental!

ProtoRPC is an experimental, innovative, and rapidly changing new feature for App Engine. Unfortunately, being on the bleeding edge means that we may make backwards-incompatible changes to ProtoRPC. We will inform the community when this feature is no longer experimental.

Transport is the base class for implementing a ProtoRPC transport. Transports allow you to send and receive messages over HTTP.

This method receives an encoded response as determined by the transport's configured protocol. The transport is expected to set the RPC response or raise an exception before termination.

Note: Asynchronous transports are not supported.

Transport is provided by the protorpc.transport module.
