I was able to compile grpc to asm.js using emscripten and run without errors, but I think you are correct, the client was not able to make a connection from the browser to the grpc server. I'm not sure what the path forward is yet. I am going to experiment with a c++ socket and see if webassembly will use websockets. I saw a post on stackoverflow <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44637000/how-to-call-from-webassembly-websocket-api> that suggested this is the case
