json - golang http+jsonrpc access from web page -

i've used go's net/rpc , net/rpc/jsonrpc packages bit perform connections between go processes, i'm wondering if there way connect http jsonrpc server using server tooling standard library (not have problem writing own, don't want if don't have to).

this basic server setup have:

arith := new(server.arith)  server := rpc.newserver() server.register(arith)  server.handlehttp(rpc.defaultrpcpath, rpc.defaultdebugpath)  listener, e := net.listen("tcp", ":4321") if e != nil {     log.fatal("listen error:", e) } defer listener.close()  http.serve(listener, http.defaultservemux) 

and i'd able hitting web page or simple command line curl call - regular post.

however, line: http://golang.org/src/net/rpc/server.go?s=20445:20475#l670 appears indicate expects http client issue connect , directly write json rpc request stream , receive reply same way. don't know if possible browser, not common or compatible simple post.

is there way start json rpc server can post using ol' xmlhttprequest ?

edit: crap - above not using jsonrpc stuff - trying use gob, whatever - problem same - code in src/net/rpc/server.go not going handle posts, route overall isn't going work regardless of server codec.

fwiw, got working making simple http handler adapts http request/response servercodec. seems work charm.

here's working code test:
