After recently discovering FauxRPC, I was sufficiently impressed that I decided to use it to test Ackal’s gRPC services using rust.

FauxRPC provides multi-protocol support and so, after successfully implementing the faux gRPC client tests, I was compelled to try gRPC-Web too. For no immediate benefit other than, it’s there, it’s free and it’s interesting. As an aside, the faux REST client tests worked without issue using Reqwest.

Unfortunately, my optimism hit a wall with gRPC-Web and what follows is a summary of my unresolved issue.
