http/3 starter notes, rust quiche

October 28, 2019

Learning about HTTP/3… Here are some starter notes

• Talk by Lucas Pardue at Demuxed 2019 — seek to 08:51:02 in twitch video
• Another good overview: https://curl.haxx.se/video/curlup-2019/2019-03-31-Robin-Marx-QUIC-details.pdf

Good to know that they are going through a real IETF process so QUIC is evolving. CloudFlare makes it available, and will track the standard, so could be breaking changes ahead!

Rust implementation “Quiche”

uses Rust nightly, here’s a cheat sheet to getting set up..

git clone --recursive git@github.com:cloudflare/quiche.git

# git submodule update --init --recursive

cargo +nightly build --examples
cargo +nightly test

or if you don’t want to keep writing +nightly then:

rustup override set nightly
