livery_grpc_web (livery_grpc v0.1.1)

gRPC-Web framing.

gRPC-Web carries the same length-prefixed messages as gRPC, but the status travels in the response body, not in HTTP trailers, so it works over HTTP/1.1 and through browsers. The trailers are sent as a final frame whose flag byte has the high bit set (0x80); its payload is an HTTP/1.1-style name:value\r\n block.

Two content types: application/grpc-web[+proto] is binary; application/grpc-web-text base64-encodes the whole body (request and response). This module classifies the request content type and provides the trailer frame plus the text base64 transforms.

Functions

content_type/1

The response content-type for a mode.

decode_request/2

Decode a request body for a mode: base64 first for the text variant.

encode_body/2

Encode a full response body for a mode: base64 for the text variant.

is_web/1

Whether a mode is one of the gRPC-Web variants.

mode/1

Classify a request content-type into a mode, or undefined if it is not a gRPC family type.
