Urm, I thought I was agreeing that it's not possible. But I think we're in agreement.

In short: you want to offer functions on the server that REST would push on to the client (or would require making architectural changes).

REST definitely requires a larger upfront investment vs RPC. Part of what I'm curious about is how much larger in real world cases, and this is a good example. So I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
