A QUIC implementation in pure Go
quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. It roughly implements the IETF QUIC draft, although we don't fully support any of the draft versions at the moment.
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.
Google QUIC
quic-go used to support both the QUIC versions supported by Google Chrome and QUIC as deployed on Google's servers, as well as IETF QUIC. Due to the divergence of the two protocols, we decided to not support both versions any more.
The master branch only supports IETF QUIC. For Google QUIC support, please refer to the gquic branch.
Guides
We currently support Go 1.9+.
Installing and updating dependencies:
go get -t -u ./...
Running tests:
go test ./...
HTTP mapping
We're currently not implementing the HTTP mapping as described in the QUIC over HTTP draft. The HTTP mapping here is a leftover from Google QUIC.
QUIC without HTTP/2
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)))
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{},
}
