README

A QUIC implementation in pure Go

quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go.

Roadmap

quic-go is compatible with the current version(s) of Google Chrome and QUIC as deployed on Google's servers. We're actively tracking the development of the Chrome code to ensure compatibility as the protocol evolves. In that process, we're dropping support for old QUIC versions. As Google's QUIC versions are expected to converge towards the IETF QUIC draft, quic-go will eventually implement that draft.

Guides

We currently support Go 1.9+.

Installing and updating dependencies:

go get -t -u ./...

Running tests:

go test ./...

Running the example server

go run example/main.go -www /var/www/

Using the quic_client from chromium:

quic_client --host=127.0.0.1 --port=6121 --v=1 https://quic.clemente.io

Using Chrome:

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome --no-proxy-server --enable-quic --origin-to-force-quic-on=quic.clemente.io:443 --host-resolver-rules='MAP quic.clemente.io:443 127.0.0.1:6121' https://quic.clemente.io

QUIC without HTTP/2

Take a look at this echo example.

Using the example client

go run example/client/main.go https://clemente.io

Usage

As a server

See the example server or try out Caddy (from version 0.9, instructions here). Starting a QUIC server is very similar to the standard lib http in go:

http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(http.Dir(wwwDir)))
h2quic.ListenAndServeQUIC("localhost:4242", "/path/to/cert/chain.pem", "/path/to/privkey.pem", nil)

As a client

See the example client. Use a h2quic.RoundTripper as a Transport in a http.Client.

http.Client{
  Transport: &h2quic.RoundTripper{},
}

	// The length of the connection ID in bytes. Only valid for IETF QUIC.
	// It can be 0, or any value between 4 and 18.

	// This happens when Close() is called, or when the stream is reset (either locally or remotely).
	// Warning: This API should not be considered stable and might change soon.
	Context() context.Context
	// SetReadDeadline sets the deadline for future Read calls and

	SetReadDeadline(t time.Time) error
	// SetWriteDeadline sets the deadline for future Write calls
	// and any currently-blocked Write call.
	// Even if write times out, it may return n > 0, indicating that
	// some of the data was successfully written.
	// A zero value for t means Write will not time out.
	SetWriteDeadline(t time.Time) error
	// SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines associated
	// with the connection. It is equivalent to calling both
