Working towards HTTP3 - current MPM's only support TCP connections

Good day, Developing an HTTP3 module for Apache HTTPD is something that is desperately needed, noting alternative web servers already offer HTTP3 support, e.g. NGINX and Caddy. Whilst there's evidence of people actively working towards this, e.g. https://github.com/machine-moon/mod_http3, it's evidently not possible with the current 2.4.x code branch. To that end PR#699 https://github.com/apache/httpd/pull/699 has been raised, as a workaround to allow (some) MPM's to note connections that are not TCP based. The following post provides a detailed insight to these issues - https://codeit.guru/apache-http3-pr-699-mpm-quic-backport-2-4-68 We believe it would be really helpful if PR#699 could be approved for subsequent 2.4.x releases, and equally whether similar functionality could be added to mpm_winnt, so support for HTTP3 could be developed for Windows platforms too. --- Regards Steffen Pete
