Connect-RPC support?

[CJLees01]

I have been playing around with the gRPC server, and it looks great.

Any interest in supporting Connect in addition to gRPC? It is backwardly-compatible with gRPC but also supports the Connect protocol.

Generating connect code using Buf tooling is easy, and so the task here - I think - is to correctly register the Connect service with GoFr. Happy to try it out and see how far I get?

Hey @CJLees01, will be happy to check this out

Yes I totally +1 on this one.

The best I managed to do was to hack around with a middleware

func connectMiddleware() gofrHTTP.Middleware {
        // your connect path & http handler
	path, handler := v1.NewUserServiceHandler(services.NewUserService())

	return func(inner http.Handler) http.Handler {
		return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
			if strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, path) {
				handler.ServeHTTP(w, r)
			} else {
				inner.ServeHTTP(w, r)
			}
		})
	}
}

It works for simple request, but sadly only http1.x and not possible to make it work with any of the streaming capability, and I couldn't find a way to use h2c.

Sadly gofr is really not flexible or thought to be extensible, as a user we don't have much control on the http server or it's configuration.
