This patch adds two major proxy capabilities to curl (ngtcp2 QUIC):
- HTTP/3 Proxy CONNECT: Tunnel HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 traffic through an
HTTPS proxy that speaks HTTP/3 (QUIC) using the standard CONNECT
method over an HTTP/3 connection.
- MASQUE CONNECT-UDP: Tunnel HTTP/3 (QUIC) traffic through an HTTP
proxy (speaking HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, or HTTP/3) using the extended
CONNECT method with the CONNECT-UDP protocol (RFC9297 & RFC9298).
Public API additions:
- `CURLPROXY_HTTPS3`: new proxy type constant for HTTP/3 proxy
- `--proxy-http3`: new CLI flag to negotiate HTTP/3 with HTTPS proxy
The implementation adds two new filters:
- `H3-PROXY` - enables negotiating HTTP/3 (QUIC) to the proxy and
running CONNECT/CONNECT-UDP through that proxy transport.
- `CAPSULE` - dedicated filter inserted between QUIC transport and
HTTP-PROXY to handle datagram capsule encapsulation/decapsulation.
Here is how the curl filter chaining looks in different scenarios:
- HTTP/3 Proxy CONNECT (tunneling TCP protocols over QUIC proxy):
conn -> HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 -> SSL -> HTTP-PROXY ->
H3-PROXY -> HAPPY-EYEBALLS -> UDP
- MASQUE CONNECT-UDP (tunneling QUIC over any proxy):
conn -> HTTP/3 -> CAPSULE -> HTTP-PROXY -> H3-PROXY ->
HAPPY-EYEBALLS -> UDP
conn -> HTTP/3 -> CAPSULE -> HTTP-PROXY -> H1-PROXY or H2-PROXY ->
SSL -> HAPPY-EYEBALLS -> TCP
- Both features currently require the ngtcp2 QUIC backend.
- Both features are experimental (disabled by default). Enable with
`--enable-proxy-http3`(autotools) or `-DUSE_PROXY_HTTP3=ON`(CMake).
Tests:
- tests/unit/unit3400.c: Unit tests for capsule protocol encode/decode
- tests/http/test_60_h3_proxy.py: Comprehensive pytest integration suite
- tests/http/testenv/h2o.py: Managing h2o instances with HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2,
and HTTP/3 (QUIC) listeners, proxy.connect and proxy.connect-udp enabled.

Closes#21153
Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an
option.
"Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..."
Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing.
Closes#13106
- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md,
as the documentation is now markdown-looking.
- made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes
- switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file,
which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the
previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md
ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make
them sort separately:
_NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md,
_VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md,
_OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md,
_EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md
- updated test cases accordingly
Closes#12751
