I don't understand why there isn't an HTTP/1 mode for gRPC. Would cover the super common use case of client-to-server calls. Give people who already have your typical JSON-over-HTTP API something that's the same except more efficient and with a nicer API spec.
You know what's ironic, Google AppEngine doesn't support HTTP/2. Actually a lot of platforms don't.
- bunderbunder 2y agoThe streaming message transfer modes are the main thing that make it difficult.
- hot_gril 2y agoStreaming seems like it'd work without too much effort. It'd be less efficient for sure, but it's also not a very common use case.
- bunderbunder 2y agoIn general, I agree. But my understanding is that the problem isn't streaming in the abstract, it's supporting certain details of the streaming protocol outlined in the gRPC spec.
