Same gRPC Tunnel, but without gRPC / Protobuf

What's This?

Almost same thing as https://github.com/Qv2ray/gun, but without gRPC or Protobuf.

Why no gRPC / no Protobuf?

Said @Dreamacro from https://github.com/Dreamacro/clash/pull/1287#issuecomment-797200851:

gRPC (protobuf) too heavy-weight. Take linux-amd64 as an example. On dev branch, the binary size is 8.8M, but on this PR, the binary size is 13M. Increased size by nearly 50% new_moon_with_face

How are you going to do it without gRPC / Protobuf?

We are going to reuse existing HTTP/2 libraries and simulate our own gRPC / Protobuf behavior.

We hope that this will greatly reduce the resulting binary size.

Can I use this freely in my product?

Yes. Just follow the MIT License.
