Now "listen" directve has a new "quic" parameter which enables QUIC protocol
for the address. Further, to enable HTTP/3, a new directive "http3" is
introduced. The hq-interop protocol is enabled by "http3_hq" as before.
Now application protocol is chosen by ALPN.
Previously used "http3" parameter of "listen" is deprecated.
It's called after handshake completion or prior to the first early data stream
creation. The callback should initialize application-level data before
creating streams.
HTTP/3 callback implementation sets keepalive timer and sends SETTINGS.
Also, this allows to limit max handshake time in ngx_http_v3_init_stream().
All these events are created in context of a client connection and are deleted
when the connection is closed. Setting ev->cancelable could trigger premature
connection closure and a socket leak alert.
Sending the instruction is delayed until the end of the current event cycle.
Delaying the instruction is allowed by quic-qpack-21, section 2.2.2.3.
The goal is to reduce the amount of data sent back to client by accumulating
several inserts in one instruction and sometimes not sending the instruction at
all, if Section Acknowledgement was sent just before it.
Operations like ngx_quic_open_stream(), ngx_http_quic_get_connection(),
ngx_http_v3_finalize_connection(), ngx_http_v3_shutdown_connection() used to
receive a QUIC stream connection. Now they can receive the main QUIC
connection as well. This is useful when calling them from a stream context.
When an HTTP/3 function returns an error in context of a QUIC stream, it's
this function's responsibility now to finalize the entire QUIC connection
with the right code, if required. Previously, QUIC connection finalization
could be done both outside and inside such functions. The new rule follows
a similar rule for logging, leads to cleaner code, and allows to provide more
details about the error.
While here, a few error cases are no longer treated as fatal and QUIC connection
is no longer finalized in these cases. A few other cases now lead to
stream reset instead of connection finalization.
With this patch, all traffic over HTTP/3 bidi and uni streams is counted in
the h3c->total_bytes field, and payload traffic is counted in the
h3c->payload_bytes field. As long as total traffic is many times larger than
payload traffic, we consider this to be a flood.
Request header traffic is counted as if all fields are literal. Response
header traffic is counted as is.
