A QUIC implementation in pure Go
quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol, RFC 9000 protocol in Go. In addition to RFC 9000, it currently implements the IETF QUIC draft-29. Support for draft-29 will eventually be dropped, as it is phased out of the ecosystem.
Guides
We currently support Go 1.16.x and Go 1.17.x.
Running tests:
go test ./...
QUIC without HTTP/3
Take a look at this echo example.
Usage
As a server
See the example server. Starting a QUIC server is very similar to the standard lib http in go:
http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(http.Dir(wwwDir)))
http3.ListenAndServeQUIC("localhost:4242", "/path/to/cert/chain.pem", "/path/to/privkey.pem", nil)
As a client
See the example client. Use a http3.RoundTripper as a Transport in a http.Client.
http.Client{
Transport: &http3.RoundTripper{},
}
