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
`struct Curl_peer` keeps information about a communication endpoint
together. It will replace `conn->host` and `conn->conn_to_host` and
proxyinfo host. It will also become part of `struct ssl_peer`.
It has a reference counter, so an instance can be shared between
connections and filters.
Elminiates `conn->host` and `conn->connect_to_host`, used in the
proxyinfo structures. Passed to DNS resolution and socks filters, etc.
Pass peer to http proxy and socks tunnel filters. Use peer in dns filter
and resolving. Make `Curl_peer` a member in the `struct ssl_peer`.
Add `docs/internals/PEERS.md` for documentation.
Closes#21472
- asyn-thrdd.c: scope an include.
- apply more clang-format suggestions.
- tidy-up PP guard comments.
- delete empty line from the top of headers.
- add empty line after `curl_setup.h` include where missing.
- fix indent.
- CODE_STYLE.md: add `strcpy`.
Follow-up to 8636ad55df#20088
- lib1901.c: drop unnecessary line.
Follow-up to 436e67f65b#20076Closes#20070
- currently only on debug build and when env variable
CURL_PROXY_TUNNEL_H2 is present.
- will ALPN negotiate with the proxy server and switch
tunnel filter based on the protocol negotiated.
- http/1.1 tunnel code moved into cf-h1-proxy.[ch]
- http/2 tunnel code implemented in cf-h2-proxy.[ch]
- tunnel start and ALPN set remains in http_proxy.c
- moving all haproxy related code into cf-haproxy.[ch]
VTLS changes
- SSL filters rely solely on the "alpn" specification they
are created with and no longer check conn->bits.tls_enable_alpn.
- checks on which ALPN specification to use (or none at all) are
done in vtls.c when creating the filter.
Testing
- added a nghttpx forward proxy to the pytest setup that
speaks HTTP/2 and forwards all requests to the Apache httpd
forward proxy server.
- extending test coverage in test_10 cases
- adding proxy tests for direct/tunnel h1/h2 use of basic auth.
- adding test for http/1.1 and h2 proxy tunneling to pytest
Closes#10780
