I would like to set up a couple TCP/IP connections in GAE using Go. As I’ve searched it is impossible to get a static IP from the app engine, but can’t find much data on other limitations.
Is it possible to establish a TCP/IP connection in GAE, and if so, how long can it be used before it has to be re-established?
It is clearly mentioned here that you may not open a socket from within their sandboxed environment.
Now HTTP is also based on TCP/IP, and you may “fetch” content using URLs (in Python it’s urllib and urllib2, don’t know much about Go). But raw SOCK_STREAM connections? NO.
