HTTP/3

Documentation PkgGoDev

This package implements HTTP/3 (RFC 9114), including QPACK (RFC 9204) and HTTP Datagrams (RFC 9297). It aims to provide feature parity with the standard library's HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 implementation.

Detailed documentation can be found on quic-go.net.

View Source 
var ErrNoAltSvcPort = errors.New("no port can be announced, specify it explicitly using Server.Port or Server.Addr")

ErrNoAltSvcPort is the error returned by SetQUICHeaders when no port was found for Alt-Svc to announce. This can happen if listening on a PacketConn without a port (UNIX socket, for example) and no port is specified in Server.Port or Server.Addr.

View Source 
var RemoteAddrContextKey = &contextKey{"remote-addr"}

RemoteAddrContextKey is a context key. It can be used in HTTP handlers with Context.Value to access the remote address of the connection. The associated value will be of type net.Addr.

Use this value instead of http.Request.RemoteAddr if you require access to the remote address of the connection rather than its string representation.

View Source 
var ServerContextKey = &contextKey{"http3-server"}

ServerContextKey is a context key. It can be used in HTTP handlers with Context.Value to access the server that started the handler. The associated value will be of type *http3.Server.

func (*Error) Is 

func (e *Error) Is(target error) bool

type FrameType 

type FrameType uint64

FrameType is the frame type of a HTTP/3 frame

type HTTPStreamer 

type HTTPStreamer interface {
	HTTPStream() *Stream
}

The HTTPStreamer allows taking over a HTTP/3 stream. The interface is implemented by the http.ResponseWriter. When a stream is taken over, it's the caller's responsibility to close the stream.

type Hijacker 

type Hijacker interface {
	Connection() *Conn
}

A Hijacker allows hijacking of the stream creating part of a quic.Conn from a http.ResponseWriter. It is used by WebTransport to create WebTransport streams after a session has been established.

type QUICListener 

type QUICListener interface {
	Accept(context.Context) (*quic.Conn, error)
	Addr() net.Addr
	io.Closer
}

A QUICListener listens for incoming QUIC connections.

type RequestStream 

type RequestStream struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A RequestStream is a low-level abstraction representing an HTTP/3 request stream. It decouples sending of the HTTP request from reading the HTTP response, allowing the application to optimistically use the stream (and, for example, send datagrams) before receiving the response.

This is only needed for advanced use case, e.g. WebTransport and the various MASQUE proxying protocols.

func (*RequestStream) CancelRead 

func (s *RequestStream) CancelRead(errorCode quic.StreamErrorCode)

CancelRead aborts receiving on this stream. See quic.Stream.CancelRead for more details.

CancelWrite aborts sending on this stream. See quic.Stream.CancelWrite for more details.

func (*RequestStream) Close 

func (s *RequestStream) Close() error

Close closes the send-direction of the stream. It does not close the receive-direction of the stream.

Read reads data from the underlying stream.

It can only be used after the request has been sent (using SendRequestHeader) and the response has been consumed (using ReadResponse).

func (*RequestStream) ReadResponse 

func (s *RequestStream) ReadResponse() (*http.Response, error)

ReadResponse reads the HTTP response from the stream.

It must be called after sending the request (using SendRequestHeader). It is invalid to call it more than once. It doesn't set Response.Request and Response.TLS. It is invalid to call it after Read has been called.

func (*RequestStream) ReceiveDatagram 

func (s *RequestStream) ReceiveDatagram(ctx context.Context) ([]byte, error)

ReceiveDatagram receives HTTP Datagrams (RFC 9297).

It is only possible if support for HTTP Datagrams was enabled, using the EnableDatagram option on the Transport.

func (*RequestStream) SendDatagram 

func (s *RequestStream) SendDatagram(b []byte) error

SendDatagrams send a new HTTP Datagram (RFC 9297).

It is only possible to send datagrams if the server enabled support for this extension. It is recommended (though not required) to send the request before calling this method, as the server might drop datagrams which it can't associate with an existing request.

func (*RequestStream) SendRequestHeader 

func (s *RequestStream) SendRequestHeader(req *http.Request) error

SendRequestHeader sends the HTTP request.

It can only used for requests that don't have a request body. It is invalid to call it more than once. It is invalid to call it after Write has been called.

func (*RequestStream) SetDeadline 

func (s *RequestStream) SetDeadline(t time.Time) error

SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines associated with the stream. It is equivalent to calling both SetReadDeadline and SetWriteDeadline.

func (*RequestStream) SetReadDeadline

}

RoundTripOpt are options for the Transport.RoundTripOpt method.

type Server 

type Server struct {
	// Addr optionally specifies the UDP address for the server to listen on,
	// in the form "host:port".
	//
	// When used by ListenAndServe and ListenAndServeTLS methods, if empty,
	// ":https" (port 443) is used. See net.Dial for details of the address
	// format.
	//
	// Otherwise, if Port is not set and underlying QUIC listeners do not
	// have valid port numbers, the port part is used in Alt-Svc headers set
	// with SetQUICHeaders.
	Addr string

	// Port is used in Alt-Svc response headers set with SetQUICHeaders. If
	// needed Port can be manually set when the Server is created.
	//
	// This is useful when a Layer 4 firewall is redirecting UDP traffic and
	// clients must use a port different from the port the Server is
	// listening on.
	Port int

	// TLSConfig provides a TLS configuration for use by server. It must be
	// set for ListenAndServe and Serve methods.
	TLSConfig *tls.Config

	// If set to true, QUICConfig.EnableDatagrams will be set.
	EnableDatagrams bool

	// MaxHeaderBytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will
	// read parsing the request HEADERS frame. It does not limit the size of
	// the request body. If zero or negative, http.DefaultMaxHeaderBytes is
	// used.
	MaxHeaderBytes int

	// AdditionalSettings specifies additional HTTP/3 settings.
	// It is invalid to specify any settings defined by RFC 9114 (HTTP/3) and RFC 9297 (HTTP Datagrams).
	AdditionalSettings map[uint64]uint64

	// StreamHijacker, when set, is called for the first unknown frame parsed on a bidirectional stream.
	// It is called right after parsing the frame type.
	// If parsing the frame type fails, the error is passed to the callback.
	// In that case, the frame type will not be set.
	// Callers can either ignore the frame and return control of the stream back to HTTP/3
	// (by returning hijacked false).
	// Alternatively, callers can take over the QUIC stream (by returning hijacked true).
	StreamHijacker func(FrameType, quic.ConnectionTracingID, *quic.Stream, error) (hijacked bool, err error)

	// UniStreamHijacker, when set, is called for unknown unidirectional stream of unknown stream type.
	// If parsing the stream type fails, the error is passed to the callback.
	// In that case, the stream type will not be set.
	UniStreamHijacker func(StreamType, quic.ConnectionTracingID, *quic.ReceiveStream, error) (hijacked bool)

	// IdleTimeout specifies how long until idle clients connection should be
	// closed. Idle refers only to the HTTP/3 layer, activity at the QUIC layer

}

Server is a HTTP/3 server.

func (*Server) Close 

func (s *Server) Close() error

Close the server immediately, aborting requests and sending CONNECTION_CLOSE frames to connected clients. Close in combination with ListenAndServe() (instead of Serve()) may race if it is called before a UDP socket is established. It is the caller's responsibility to close any connection passed to ServeQUICConn.

func (*Server) ListenAndServe 

func (s *Server) ListenAndServe() error

ListenAndServe listens on the UDP address s.Addr and calls s.Handler to handle HTTP/3 requests on incoming connections.

If s.Addr is blank, ":https" is used.

func (*Server) ListenAndServeTLS 

func (s *Server) ListenAndServeTLS(certFile, keyFile string) error

ListenAndServeTLS listens on the UDP address s.Addr and calls s.Handler to handle HTTP/3 requests on incoming connections.

If s.Addr is blank, ":https" is used.

func (*Server) Serve 

func (s *Server) Serve(conn net.PacketConn) error

Serve an existing UDP connection. It is possible to reuse the same connection for outgoing connections. Closing the server does not close the connection.

func (*Server) ServeListener 

func (s *Server) ServeListener(ln QUICListener) error

ServeListener serves an existing QUIC listener. Make sure you use http3.ConfigureTLSConfig to configure a tls.Config and use it to construct a http3-friendly QUIC listener. Closing the server does not close the listener. It is the application's responsibility to close them. ServeListener always returns a non-nil error. After Shutdown or Close, the returned error is http.ErrServerClosed.

func (*Server) ServeQUICConn 

func (s *Server) ServeQUICConn(conn *quic.Conn) error

ServeQUICConn serves a single QUIC connection.

func (*Server) SetQUICHeaders 

func (s *Server) SetQUICHeaders(hdr http.Header) error

SetQUICHeaders can be used to set the proper headers that announce that this server supports HTTP/3. The values set by default advertise all the ports the server is listening on, but can be changed to a specific port by setting Server.Port before launching the server. If no listener's Addr().String() returns an address with a valid port, Server.Addr will be used to extract the port, if specified. For example, a server launched using ListenAndServe on an address with port 443 would set: 

Alt-Svc: h3=":443"; ma=2592000

func (*Server) Shutdown 

func (s *Server) Shutdown(ctx context.Context) error

Shutdown gracefully shuts down the server without interrupting any active connections. The server sends a GOAWAY frame first, then or for all running requests to complete. Shutdown in combination with ListenAndServe may race if it is called before a UDP socket is established. It is recommended to use Serve instead.

type Settings 

type Settings struct {
	// Support for HTTP/3 datagrams (RFC 9297)
	EnableDatagrams bool
	// Extended CONNECT, RFC 9220
	EnableExtendedConnect bool
	// Other settings, defined by the application
	Other map[uint64]uint64
}

Settings are HTTP/3 settings that apply to the underlying connection.

type Stream 

type Stream struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

type StreamType 

type StreamType uint64

StreamType is the stream type of a unidirectional stream.

type Transport 

type Transport struct {
	// TLSClientConfig specifies the TLS configuration to use with
	// tls.Client. If nil, the default configuration is used.
	TLSClientConfig *tls.Config

	// QUICConfig is the quic.Config used for dialing new connections.
	// If nil, reasonable default values will be used.
	QUICConfig *quic.Config

	// Dial specifies an optional dial function for creating QUIC
	// connections for requests.
	// If Dial is nil, a UDPConn will be created at the first request
	// and will be reused for subsequent connections to other servers.
	Dial func(ctx context.Context, addr string, tlsCfg *tls.Config, cfg *quic.Config) (*quic.Conn, error)

	// Enable support for HTTP/3 datagrams (RFC 9297).
	// If a QUICConfig is set, datagram support also needs to be enabled on the QUIC layer by setting EnableDatagrams.
	EnableDatagrams bool

	// Additional HTTP/3 settings.
	// It is invalid to specify any settings defined by RFC 9114 (HTTP/3) and RFC 9297 (HTTP Datagrams).
	AdditionalSettings map[uint64]uint64

	// MaxResponseHeaderBytes specifies a limit on how many response bytes are
	// allowed in the server's response header.
	// Zero means to use a default limit.
	MaxResponseHeaderBytes int64

	// DisableCompression, if true, prevents the Transport from requesting compression with an
	// "Accept-Encoding: gzip" request header when the Request contains no existing Accept-Encoding value.
	// If the Transport requests gzip on its own and gets a gzipped response, it's transparently
	// decoded in the Response.Body.
	// However, if the user explicitly requested gzip it is not automatically uncompressed.
	DisableCompression bool

	StreamHijacker    func(FrameType, quic.ConnectionTracingID, *quic.Stream, error) (hijacked bool, err error)
	UniStreamHijacker func(StreamType, quic.ConnectionTracingID, *quic.ReceiveStream, error) (hijacked bool)

	Logger *slog.Logger
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Transport implements the http.RoundTripper interface

func (*Transport) Close 

func (t *Transport) Close() error

Close closes the QUIC connections that this Transport has used. A Transport cannot be used after it has been closed.

func (*Transport) CloseIdleConnections 

func (t *Transport) CloseIdleConnections()

CloseIdleConnections closes any QUIC connections in the transport's pool that are currently idle. An idle connection is one that was previously used for requests but is now sitting unused. This method does not interrupt any connections currently in use. It also does not affect connections obtained via NewClientConn.

func (*Transport) NewClientConn 

func (t *Transport) NewClientConn(conn *quic.Conn) *ClientConn

NewClientConn creates a new HTTP/3 client connection on top of a QUIC connection. Most users should use RoundTrip instead of creating a connection directly. Specifically, it is not needed to perform GET, POST, HEAD and CONNECT requests.

Obtaining a ClientConn is only needed for more advanced use cases, such as using Extended CONNECT for WebTransport or the various MASQUE protocols.

func (*Transport) RoundTrip 

func (t *Transport) RoundTrip(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error)

RoundTrip does a round trip.

func (*Transport) RoundTripOpt 

func (t *Transport) RoundTripOpt(req *http.Request, opt RoundTripOpt) (*http.Response, error)

RoundTripOpt is like RoundTrip, but takes options.
