Automated application patching for Microsoft Intune. Pckgr keeps a curated library of 1,000+ apps continuously up-to-date in your tenant via Microsoft Graph — no manual repackaging, no chasing vendor sites.
See Pckgr's app librarygrpcurl is a command-line tool that lets you interact with gRPC servers. It's
basically curl for gRPC servers.
The main purpose for this tool is to invoke RPC methods on a gRPC server from
the command-line. gRPC servers use a binary encoding on the wire (protocol
buffers, or "protobufs" for short). So they are basically impossible to interact
with using regular curl (and older versions of curl that do not support HTTP/2
are of course non-starters). This program accepts messages using JSON encoding,
which is much more friendly for both humans and scripts.
With this tool you can also browse the schema for gRPC services, either by
querying a server that supports server reflection, by reading proto source
files, or by loading in compiled "protoset" files (files that contain encoded
file descriptor protos). In fact, the way the tool transforms JSON request data
into a binary encoded protobuf is using that very same schema. So, if the server
you interact with does not support reflection, you will either need the proto
source files that define the service or need protoset files that grpcurl can
use.
