The Transport Class

Transport is the base class for implementing a Protocol RPC 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.
