HTTP/3 (HTTP over QUIC) support

Open DemiMarie opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

HTTP 3 has several compelling advantages over HTTP 1.1 and HTTP 2:

  • HTTP3 runs over QUIC, which natively supports roaming. This is especially useful for mobile clients.
  • HTTP3 supports native multiplexing, without the head-of-line blocking problem that HTTP2 suffers from.
  • HTTP3 allows congestion control to be implemented in userspace, which allows new algorithms (such as BBR) to be adopted before OS kernels get support for them.

See #28 for discussion on HTTP/2. I've no idea, but I assume HTTP3 will require mechanisms found in HTTP2 as well.
