However the clients still claim to support compression. As a result, a client fails to parse received message when the message is compressed. The problem above was resolved in gRPC v1.3.0-dev. For backward compatibility, a server must forcingly disable compression for gRPC clients of version lower than or equal to v1.3.0-dev. + **Workaround Description:** Implemented as a server channel filter in C core. The filter identifies the version of peer client with incoming `user-agent` header of each call. If the client's gRPC version is lower that or equal to v1.3.x, a flag GRPC_WRITE_NO_COMPRESS is marked for all send_message ops which prevents compression of the messages to be sent out. |
