HTTP/3: call ngx_handle_read_event() from client header handler.
This function should be called at the end of an event handler to prepare the
event for the next handler call. Particularly, the "active" flag is set or
cleared depending on data availability.
With this call missing in one code path, read handler was not called again
after handling the initial part of the client request, if the request was too
big to fit into a single STREAM frame.
Now ngx_handle_read_event() is called in this code path. Also, read timer is
restarted.

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]. | |

43 nginx should be able to respond to HTTP/3 requests over QUIC and |
7843 | 44 it should be possible to upload and download big files without errors. |

46 + The handshake completes successfully | |
47 + One endpoint can update keys and its peer responds correctly | |

50 + A handshake that includes a Retry packet completes successfully |
7843 | 51 + Stream data is being exchanged and ACK'ed |
52 + An H3 transaction succeeded | |
53 + One or both endpoints insert entries into dynamic table and | |
54 subsequently reference them from header blocks | |
8065 | 55 + Version Negotiation packet is sent to client with unknown version |
56 + Lost packets are detected and retransmitted properly | |
7843 | 57 |
58 Not (yet) supported features: | |
59 | |
8065 | 60 - Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) as specified in quic-recovery [5] |
7843 | 61 - A connection with the spin bit succeeds and the bit is spinning |
62 - Structured Logging | |
63 - NAT Rebinding | |
64 - Address Mobility | |
65 - HTTP/3 trailers | |
66 | |
67 Since the code is experimental and still under development, | |
68 a lot of things may not work as expected, for example: | |
69 | |
70 - Flow control mechanism is basic and intended to avoid CPU hog and make | |
71 simple interactions possible | |
72 | |
73 - Not all draft requirements are strictly followed; some of checks are | |
74 omitted for the sake of simplicity of initial implementation | |
75 | |
76 2. Installing | |

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

181 Cache clearing/restart might help. Always check access.log and | |
182 error.log to make sure you are using HTTP/3 and not TCP https. | |
183 | |
184 + to enable QUIC in Firefox, set the following in 'about:config': | |
185 network.http.http3.enabled = true | |
186 | |
187 + to enable QUIC in Chrome, enable it on command line and force it | |
188 on your site: | |

217 + Ensure you are building with proper SSL library that supports QUIC |
7843 | 218 |
219 + Ensure you are using the proper SSL library in runtime | |
220 (`nginx -V` will show you what you are using) | |
221 | |
222 + Ensure your client is actually sending QUIC requests | |
223 (see "Clients" section about browsers and cache) | |
224 | |
225 We recommend to start with simple console client like ngtcp2 | |
226 to ensure you've got server configured properly before trying | |
7872 | 227 with real browsers that may be very picky with certificates, |
7843 | 228 for example. |
229 | |
230 + Build nginx with debug support [7] and check your debug log. | |
231 It should contain all details about connection and why it | |
232 failed. All related messages contain "quic " prefix and can | |
233 be easily filtered out. | |
234 | |
235 + If you want to investigate deeper, you may want to enable | |
236 additional debugging in src/event/ngx_event_quic.h: | |
