HTTP/3: fixed decoder stream stubs.
Now ngx_http_v3_ack_header() and ngx_http_v3_inc_insert_count() always generate
decoder error. Our implementation does not use dynamic tables and does not
expect client to send Section Acknowledgement or Insert Count Increment.
Stream Cancellation, on the other hand, is allowed to be sent anyway. This is
why ngx_http_v3_cancel_stream() does not return an error.

12 1. Introduction | |
13 | |
14 This is an experimental QUIC [1] / HTTP/3 [2] support for nginx. | |
15 | |
16 The code is developed in a separate "quic" branch available | |
17 at https://hg.nginx.org/nginx-quic. Currently it is based | |

23 The code is currently at a beta level of quality and should not |
7843 | 24 be used in production. |
25 | |
26 We are working on improving HTTP/3 support with the goal of | |
27 integrating it to the main NGINX codebase. Expect frequent | |
28 updates of this code and don't rely on it for whatever purpose. | |
29 | |
30 We'll be grateful for any feedback and code submissions however | |
31 we don't bear any responsibilities for any issues with this code. | |
32 | |
33 You can always contact us via nginx-devel mailing list [3]. | |

54 + Clients may migrate to new address |
7843 | 55 |
56 Not (yet) supported features: | |
57 | |
8065 | 58 - Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) as specified in quic-recovery [5] |
7843 | 59 - A connection with the spin bit succeeds and the bit is spinning |
60 - Structured Logging | |
61 - HTTP/3 trailers | |
62 | |
63 Since the code is experimental and still under development, | |
64 a lot of things may not work as expected, for example: | |
65 | |
66 - Flow control mechanism is basic and intended to avoid CPU hog and make | |
67 simple interactions possible | |
68 | |
69 - Not all draft requirements are strictly followed; some of checks are | |
70 omitted for the sake of simplicity of initial implementation | |
71 | |
72 2. Installing | |

74 You will need a BoringSSL [4] library that provides QUIC support | |

212 + Ensure you are building with proper SSL library that supports QUIC |
7843 | 213 |
214 + Ensure you are using the proper SSL library in runtime | |
215 (`nginx -V` will show you what you are using) | |
216 | |
217 + Ensure your client is actually sending QUIC requests | |
218 (see "Clients" section about browsers and cache) | |
219 | |
220 We recommend to start with simple console client like ngtcp2 | |
221 to ensure you've got server configured properly before trying | |
7872 | 222 with real browsers that may be very picky with certificates, |
7843 | 223 for example. |
224 | |
225 + Build nginx with debug support [7] and check your debug log. | |
226 It should contain all details about connection and why it | |
227 failed. All related messages contain "quic " prefix and can | |
228 be easily filtered out. | |
229 | |
