you can't proxy websocket? i agree having contract for apis make it easier, but that could have been implemented over websocket instead of http2 just wondering

you can't proxy websocket? i agree having contract for apis make it easier, but that could have been implemented over websocket instead of http2 just wondering? guaranteeing order, isn't that a good thing? transferring 4gb file over websocket, hmm... i actually never looked into it so i'll take the word here. .... I guess my overall question is why not gRPC over websocket instead of Http/2

> you can't proxy websocket? You can proxy the whole connection. But not a single request/stream inside it, since there is no notion of such a thing in websockets. Compared to that grpc is basically built on standard HTTP/2 requests, where the method is denoted in the path. So you can use a standard HTTP/2 capable proxy or load balancer to route requests based on the method.
