This is just a quick one.

I had some trouble making the Any protobuf type work when running grpc-gateway from a separate process with the gateway throwing an unknown message type error. A quick fix for this is to import the generated pb.go file to your proxy source. Something like:

package main

import (

    _ "github.com/username/pkgwithpbgo"
)
