annotate README @ 8419:cb149fa03367 quic
Added propagation of the "wildcard" flag to c->listening.
The flags was originally added by 8f038068f4bc, and is propagated correctly
in the stream module. With QUIC introduction, http module now uses datagram
sockets as well, thus the fix.

| 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 | |

18 on nginx mainline 1.19.x. We are planning to merge new nginx |
| 8366 | 19 releases into this branch regularly. |
| 20 | |
| 21 The project code base is under the same BSD license as nginx. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 The code is at an early alpha level of quality and should not | |
| 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]. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 What works now: | |
| 36 | |
| 37 Currently we support IETF-QUIC draft 27 | |
| 38 Earlier drafts are NOT supported as they have incompatible wire format; | |

| 8366 | 44 nginx should be able to respond to simple HTTP/3 requests over QUIC and |
| 45 it should be possible to upload and download big files without errors. | |
| 46 | |
| 47 + The handshake completes successfully | |
| 48 + One endpoint can update keys and its peer responds correctly | |
| 8390 | 49 + 0-RTT data is being received and acted on |
| 8366 | 50 + Connection is established using TLS Resume Ticket |

|
51 + A handshake that includes a Retry packet completes successfully |
| 8366 | 52 + Stream data is being exchanged and ACK'ed |
| 53 + An H3 transaction succeeded | |
| 54 + One or both endpoints insert entries into dynamic table and | |
| 55 subsequently reference them from header blocks | |
| 56 | |
| 57 Not (yet) supported features: | |
| 58 | |
| 59 - Version negotiation | |
| 60 - ECN, Congestion control and friends as specified in quic-recovery [5] | |
| 61 - A connection with the spin bit succeeds and the bit is spinning | |
| 62 - Structured Logging | |
| 63 - QUIC recovery (proper congestion and flow control) | |
| 64 - NAT Rebinding | |
| 65 - Address Mobility | |
| 66 - Server push | |
| 67 - HTTP/3 trailers | |
| 68 | |
| 69 Since the code is experimental and still under development, | |
| 70 a lot of things may not work as expected, for example: | |
| 71 | |
| 72 - ACK handling is basic: every received ack-eliciting packet | |
| 73 is acknowledged, no ack ranges are used | |
| 74 | |
| 75 - Flow control mechanism is basic and intended to avoid CPU hog and make | |
| 76 simple interactions possible | |
| 77 | |
| 78 - Not all draft requirements are strictly followed; some of checks are | |
| 79 omitted for the sake of simplicity of initial implementation | |
| 80 | |
| 81 2. Installing | |
| 82 | |
| 83 You will need a BoringSSL [4] library that provides QUIC support | |

| 94 | |
| 95 The "listen" directive got a new option: "http3" | |
| 96 which enables HTTP/3 over QUIC on the specified port. | |
| 97 | |
| 98 Along with "http3", you also have to specify "reuseport" option [6] | |
| 99 to make it work properly with multiple workers. | |
| 100 | |
| 101 A number of directives were added that specify transport parameter values: | |

| 8366 | 128 Two additional variables are available: $quic and $http3. |

| 130 and empty string otherwise. The value of $http3 is a string | |
| 131 "h3-xx" where "xx" is the supported draft number. | |
| 132 | |
| 133 Example configuration: | |
| 134 | |
| 135 http { | |
| 136 log_format quic '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] ' | |
| 137 '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent ' | |

| 159 4. Clients | |
| 160 | |
| 161 * Browsers | |
| 162 | |
| 163 Known to work: Firefox 75+ and Chrome 83+ | |
| 164 | |
| 165 Beware of strange issues: sometimes browser may decide to ignore QUIC | |
| 166 Cache clearing/restart might help. Always check access.log and | |
| 167 error.log to make sure you are using HTTP/3 and not TCP https. | |
| 168 | |
| 169 + to enable QUIC in Firefox, set the following in 'about:config': | |
| 170 network.http.http3.enabled = true | |
| 171 | |
| 172 + to enable QUIC in Chrome, enable it on command line and force it | |
| 173 on your site: | |
| 174 | |
| 175 $ ./chrome --enable-quic --quic-version=h3-27 \ | |
| 176 --origin-to-force-quic-on=example.com:8443 | |
| 177 | |
| 178 * Console clients | |
| 179 | |
| 180 Known to work: ngtcp2, firefox's neqo and chromium's console clients: | |
| 181 | |
| 182 $ examples/client 127.0.0.1 8443 https://example.com:8443/index.html | |
| 183 | |
| 184 $ ./neqo-client https://127.0.0.1:8443/ | |
| 185 | |
| 186 $ chromium-build/out/my_build/quic_client http://example.com:8443 \ | |
| 187 --quic_version=h3-27 \ | |
| 188 --allow_unknown_root_cert \ | |
| 189 --disable_certificate_verification | |
| 190 | |
| 191 | |
| 192 If you've got it right, in the access log you should see something like: | |
| 193 | |
| 194 127.0.0.1 - - [24/Apr/2020:11:27:29 +0300] "GET / HTTP/3" 200 805 "-" | |
| 195 "nghttp3/ngtcp2 client" "quic" "h3-27" | |
| 196 | |
| 197 | |
| 198 5. Troubleshooting | |
| 199 | |
| 200 Here are some tips that may help you to identify problems: | |
| 201 | |
| 202 + Ensure you are building with proper SSL library that | |
| 203 implements draft 27 | |
| 204 | |
| 205 + Ensure you are using the proper SSL library in runtime | |
| 206 (`nginx -V` will show you what you are using) | |
| 207 | |
| 208 + Ensure your client is actually sending QUIC requests | |
| 209 (see "Clients" section about browsers and cache) | |
| 210 | |
| 211 We recommend to start with simple console client like ngtcp2 | |
| 212 to ensure you've got server configured properly before trying | |
| 8395 | 213 with real browsers that may be very picky with certificates, |
| 8366 | 214 for example. |
| 215 | |
| 216 + Build nginx with debug support [7] and check your debug log. | |
| 217 It should contain all details about connection and why it | |
| 218 failed. All related messages contain "quic " prefix and can | |
| 219 be easily filtered out. | |
| 220 | |
| 221 + If you want to investigate deeper, you may want to enable | |
| 222 additional debugging in src/event/ngx_event_quic.h: | |
| 223 | |
| 224 #define NGX_QUIC_DEBUG_PACKETS | |
| 225 #define NGX_QUIC_DEBUG_FRAMES | |
| 226 #define NGX_QUIC_DEBUG_FRAMES_ALLOC | |
| 227 #define NGX_QUIC_DEBUG_CRYPTO | |
