# HTTP3 (and QUIC)
## Resources
[HTTP/3 Explained](https://http3-explained.haxx.se/en/) - 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 are experimenting 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 with OpenSSL
Build (patched) OpenSSL
% git clone --depth 1 -b openssl-3.0.0+quic https://github.com/quictls/openssl
% cd openssl
% ./config enable-tls1_3 --prefix=<somewhere1>
% make
% make install
Build nghttp3
% cd ..
% git clone https://github.com/ngtcp2/nghttp3
% cd nghttp3
% autoreconf -fi
% ./configure --prefix=<somewhere2> --enable-lib-only
% make
% make install
Build ngtcp2
% cd ..
% git clone https://github.com/ngtcp2/ngtcp2
% cd ngtcp2
% autoreconf -fi
% ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<somewhere1>/lib/pkgconfig:<somewhere2>/lib/pkgconfig LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,<somewhere1>/lib" --prefix=<somewhere3> --enable-lib-only
% make
% make install
Build curl
% cd ..
% git clone https://github.com/curl/curl
% cd curl
% autoreconf -fi
% LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,<somewhere1>/lib" ./configure --with-openssl=<somewhere1> --with-nghttp3=<somewhere2> --with-ngtcp2=<somewhere3>
% make
% make install
For OpenSSL 3.0.0 or later builds on Linux for x86_64 architecture, substitute all occurances of "/lib" with "/lib64"
## Build with GnuTLS
Build GnuTLS
% git clone --depth 1 https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls.git
% cd gnutls
% ./bootstrap
% ./configure --prefix=<somewhere1>
% make
% make install
Build nghttp3
% cd ..
% git clone https://github.com/ngtcp2/nghttp3
% cd nghttp3
% autoreconf -fi
% ./configure --prefix=<somewhere2> --enable-lib-only
% make
% make install
Build ngtcp2
% cd ..
% git clone https://github.com/ngtcp2/ngtcp2
% cd ngtcp2
% autoreconf -fi
% ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<somewhere1>/lib/pkgconfig:<somewhere2>/lib/pkgconfig LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,<somewhere1>/lib" --prefix=<somewhere3> --enable-lib-only --with-gnutls
% make
% make install
Build curl
% cd ..
% git clone https://github.com/curl/curl
% cd curl
% autoreconf -fi
% ./configure --without-openssl --with-gnutls=<somewhere1> --with-nghttp3=<somewhere2> --with-ngtcp2=<somewhere3>
% make
% make install
# quiche version
## build
Build quiche and BoringSSL:
% git clone --recursive https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche
% cd quiche
% cargo build --package quiche --release --features ffi,pkg-config-meta,qlog
% mkdir quiche/deps/boringssl/src/lib
% ln -vnf $(find target/release -name libcrypto.a -o -name libssl.a) quiche/deps/boringssl/src/lib/
Build curl:
% cd ..
% git clone https://github.com/curl/curl
% cd curl
% autoreconf -fi
% ./configure LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,$PWD/../quiche/target/release" --with-openssl=$PWD/../quiche/quiche/deps/boringssl/src --with-quiche=$PWD/../quiche/target/release
% make
% make install
If `make install` results in `Permission denied` error, you will need to prepend it with `sudo`.
## Run
Use HTTP/3 directly:
curl --http3 https://nghttp2.org:4433/
Upgrade via Alt-Svc:
curl --alt-svc altsvc.cache https://quic.aiortc.org/
See this [list of public HTTP/3 servers](https://bagder.github.io/HTTP3-test/)
## Known Bugs
Check out the [list of known HTTP3 bugs](https://curl.se/docs/knownbugs.html#HTTP3).
