incomplete response when using mode=grpcwebtext

When using mode=grpcwebtext for client configuration, responses are giving an error:

{code: StatusCode.UNKNOWN, message: 'Incomplete response'}

The response is received by the client, but is truncated (e.g. string should be ‘hello world’ but is ‘hello’). This error does not occur when using mode=grpcweb. I’m unsure if additional configuration is needed to use grpcwebtext, but following the grpc-web examples it does not seem like it.

It looks like this may be related to https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web/pull/903 and issue https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web/issues/881

Specifying http:// didn’t resolve the issue for me. Are there any other workarounds at the moment? This is a super frustrating bug.

Okay seems like I was able to fix my issue. In case anyone is experiencing something similar, make sure you do specify the HTTP protocol in your client:

// Works
const client = new VideoClient('http://localhost:9000');

// Doesn't work
const client = new VideoClient('localhost:9000');

Would it make sense to add some assertion to the constructor to avoid these kinds of issues?
