I created a RPC server using the basic instructions listed here: https://golang.org/pkg/net/rpc/. I am building a application that might not be in Go to communicate with a RPC server and was curious how to manually connect to the server using curl or anything else.
I have tried:
curl -v -X CONNECT --url localhost:1234/_goRPC
but the output I get is:
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying ::1...
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 1234 (#0)
> CONNECT /_goRPC HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.37.1
> Host: localhost:1234
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
< Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

404 page not found
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
This is mainly more to understand how to connect to it language agnostically, in the future I will most likely be using libraries from whatever language to communicate to the server.
Edit: for the above error, the url is actually localhost:1234/goRPC
But the question still remains to how to create a curl request that performs the same functionality as in the link https://golang.org/pkg/net/rpc/ that the client performs. How does the method call and arguments get serialized and placed in the CONNECT request
