Accessing Service URL from Server Side

[Robert Hardisty]

Hi all,

For security purposes, we are needing to know the initial service URL the client sent (e.g. https://my-grpc-server-external.com/some-method). We plan to have an internal and external load balancer with different DNS, and need a way extract that on the server side. I thought the context object in the server's method would have it, but unable to find it. I also thought the grpc.AuthMetadataContext might have it, but that looks like a client-side property.

Any help is appreciated.

Best,

Bob

Hi, you should be able to send the service URL using metadata, we have some examples here: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/examples/python/metadata.
