README
A QUIC implementation in pure Go
quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. It implements the IETF QUIC draft-29.
Version compatibility
Since quic-go is under active development, there's no guarantee that two builds of different commits are interoperable. The QUIC version used in the master branch is just a placeholder, and should not be considered stable.
If you want to use quic-go as a library in other projects, please consider using a tagged release. These releases expose experimental QUIC versions, which are guaranteed to be stable.
Guides
We currently support Go 1.14+, with Go modules support enabled.
Running tests:
go test ./...
QUIC without HTTP/3
Take a look at [this echo example](example/echo/echo.go).
Usage
As a server
See the [example server](example/main.go). 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](example/client/main.go). Use a http3.RoundTripper as a Transport in a http.Client.
http.Client{
Transport: &http3.RoundTripper{},
}
