My implementation replies on using a cookies to authenticate websocket connections and normal HTTP RESTful endpoints with a mux used to convert the cookies to metadata. I believe that this is suitable configuration for the grpc-websocket-proxy project as it makes the websocket-based requests more consistent with the standard HTTP based requests (which have cookies available) at the GRPC gateway. It also allows the use case of creating a cookie based mechanism to inject metadata; I simply added an interceptor to convert a specific cookie into GRPC metadata. I don't think it introduces a security risk, as handling cookies is deferred to the GRPC gateway code itself. Thanks for the websocket gateway, it's made developing a web app that consumes my GRPC API much easier.

Thinking about this again -- is there any reason why the headers are filtered in the first place? |
