# HTTP3 (and QUIC)
|
|
|
|
## Resources
|
|
|
|
[HTTP/3 Explained](https://daniel.haxx.se/http3-explained/) - the online free
|
|
book describing the protocols involved.
|
|
|
|
[QUIC implementation](https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/QUIC-implementation) -
|
|
the wiki page describing the plan for how to support QUIC and HTTP/3 in curl
|
|
and libcurl.
|
|
|
|
[quicwg.org](https://quicwg.org/) - home of the official protocol drafts
|
|
|
|
## QUIC libraries
|
|
|
|
QUIC libraries we're experiementing with:
|
|
|
|
[ngtcp2](https://github.com/ngtcp2/ngtcp2)
|
|
|
|
[quiche](https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche)
|
|
|
|
## Experimental!
|
|
|
|
HTTP/3 and QUIC support in curl is considered **EXPERIMENTAL** until further
|
|
notice. It needs to be enabled at build-time.
|
|
|
|
Further development and tweaking of the HTTP/3 support in curl will happen in
|
|
in the master branch using pull-requests, just like ordinary changes.
|
|
|
|
# ngtcp2 version
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
1. clone ngtcp2 from git (the draft-22 branch)
|
|
2. build and install ngtcp2's custom OpenSSL version (the quic-draft-22 branch)
|
|
3. build and install nghttp3
|
|
4. build and install ngtcp2 according to its instructions
|
|
5. configure curl with ngtcp2 support: `./configure --with-ngtcp2=<install prefix>`
|
|
6. build curl "normally"
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
Make sure the custom OpenSSL library is the one used at run-time, as otherwise
|
|
you'll just get ld.so linker errors.
|
|
|
|
## Invoke from command line
|
|
|
|
curl --http3-direct https://nghttp2.org:8443/
|
|
|
|
# quiche version
|
|
|
|
## build
|
|
|
|
Build BoringSSL (it needs to be built manually so it can be reused with curl):
|
|
|
|
% mkdir -p quiche/deps/boringssl/build
|
|
% cd quiche/deps/boringssl/build
|
|
% cmake -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=on ..
|
|
% make -j`nproc`
|
|
% cd ..
|
|
% mkdir .openssl/lib -p
|
|
% cp build/crypto/libcrypto.a build/ssl/libssl.a .openssl/lib
|
|
% ln -s $PWD/include .openssl
|
|
|
|
Build quiche:
|
|
|
|
% cd ../..
|
|
% QUICHE_BSSL_PATH=$PWD/deps/boringssl cargo build --release
|
|
|
|
Clone and build curl:
|
|
|
|
% cd ..
|
|
% git clone https://github.com/curl/curl
|
|
% ./buildconf
|
|
% ./configure --with-ssl=$PWD/../quiche/deps/boringssl/.openssl --with-quiche=$PWD/../quiche --enable-debug
|
|
% make -j`nproc`
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
Make an HTTP/3 request.
