Does this work? https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway

Seems to generate a REST proxy server side.

I haven't tried it, but that goes against the grain of gRPC. I understand it as an integration point between legacy REST and gRPC. I don't know, and from what I've read, wouldn't use it for greenfield development.

The only issue I have with full HTTPS + JSON is CRIME. I'm not sure how that works.

It does work, very well. We have been using it for over a year without issue. It is not ideal, but it is good to have an option for when clients dont support gRPC.
