HTTP3 (and QUIC)

HTTP/3 Explained - the online free book describing the protocols involved.
QUIC implementation - the wiki page describing the plan for how to support QUIC and HTTP/3 in curl and libcurl.

QUIC libraries
QUIC libraries we're experimenting with:
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.

quiche version
build
Build quiche and BoringSSL:
% git clone --recursive https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche
% cd quiche
% cargo build --release --features pkg-config-meta,qlog
% mkdir deps/boringssl/src/lib
% ln -vnf $(find target/release -name libcrypto.a -o -name libssl.a) deps/boringssl/src/lib/
Build curl:
% cd ..
% git clone https://github.com/curl/curl
% cd curl
% ./buildconf
% ./configure LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,$PWD/../quiche/target/release" --with-ssl=$PWD/../quiche/deps/boringssl/src --with-quiche=$PWD/../quiche/target/release
% make
Run
Use HTTP/3 directly:
curl --http3 https://nghttp2.org:8443/
Upgrade via Alt-Svc:
curl --alt-svc altsvc.cache https://quic.aiortc.org/
