As of Envoy v1.18 the v2 API has been removed and is no longer supported.

If you are upgrading from v2 API config you may wish to view the v2 API documentation:

  "upgrade_protobuf_to_grpc": "..."
}
upgrade_protobuf_to_grpc

(bool) If true then requests with content type set to application/x-protobuf will be automatically converted to gRPC. This works by prepending the payload data with the gRPC header frame, as defined by the wiring format, and Content-Type will be updated accordingly before sending the request. For the requests that went through this upgrade the filter will also strip the frame before forwarding the response to the client.
