Totally. From your posts and Pavels, what about :
request :
-----------------------------------------------------
POST /{root}/{service full name}/{method name} HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: {length of the serialized message}
Content-Type: application/x-protobuf
{raw bytes of the serialized message}
-----------------------------------------------------
(and some other headers)
successful response :
-----------------------------------------------------
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-Length: {length of the serialized response}
Content-Type: application/x-protobuf
{raw bytes of the serialized response}
-----------------------------------------------------
error :
-----------------------------------------------------
HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Length: {length of error message}
Content-Type: text/html
{some error message}
-----------------------------------------------------
