Connect-Web: TypeScript library for calling RPC servers from web browsers

I know it's unlikely, but has anyone ever tried using protobuf + HTTP/1/2/3 with `Content-Type`? It's an experiment I've been wanting to run forever but haven't found time to.

I wonder if all the speed gains people are seeing would work just fine with reasonable `Content-Type` and maybe an extra header for intended schema.

This is - more or less - what the Twirp and Connect protocols are.

Ahhhhh OK great, I definitely will just read up on twirp rather than ever trying to do this myself.
