Can you use the App Engine socket package for websockets?

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to support websockets on the Go runtime for Google App Engine (in the standard environment). People in other threads have pointed to the sockets package, but I can't see how you'd use it for a websocket. Am I missing something?

An application running in the standard environment can use the gorilla/websocket package as a client. Set the Dialer.NetDial function to func(network, addr string) (net.Conn, error) { return socket.Dial(ctx, network, addr) } where socket is the appengine socket package. Set other dialer fields as needed and call Dialer.Dial to dial the connection.

An application running in the standard environment cannot serve websocket connections.
