Hello, The backend for HTTP/3 and QUIC called "OpenSSL QUIC" is still marked as experimental. There is just this single documented requirement left for this backend to "graduate": - Using HTTP/3 with the given build should perform without risking busy-loops There is a PR [1] now that aims to fix this issue. The downside is that it does not seem to improve performance at all. The OpenSSL QUIC backend has some distinct drawbacks: Upload speed: ngtcp2 is 2-4x faster. Memory use: in some tests, OpenSSL uses 25x the amount of memory. ... but are those reasons enough for us to remain calling it experimental? I lean towards "no". To let users decide for themselves if they want fast or slow transfers.
