Streams support over http1?

[Gictorbit]

Does it support gRPC streams over http1 using websocket?
I used this package to convert grpc streams to websocket https://github.com/tmc/grpc-websocket-proxy

@Gictorbit, no it does not. Bidirectional streams only work over HTTP/2. Connect implementations generally implement the specs for gRPC, gRPC-Web, and Connect, none of which make mention of web sockets.

So when using HTTP 1.1, you are limited to server and client streams. If a server sees a request over HTTP 1.1 for a bidirectional streaming method, it will send a "505 HTTP Version Not Supported" error.

We may relax this in the future to allow bidirectional streams over HTTP 1.1, thanks to the newly added support in net/http (link). But even then, only half-duplex style streams can be guaranteed to work, as many peers may be unable to do full-duplex streaming with HTTP 1.1.
