Unblock-HTTP3-0.01

Changes for version 0.01 - 2026-10-04

  • Start Unblock::HTTP3.
  • Require released Net::QUIC 0.04 for QUIC transport and RFC 9221 DATAGRAM.
  • Use Alien::nghttp3 0.01 for libnghttp3.
  • Add native client and server libnghttp3 connection state.
  • Add the HTTP/3 control and QPACK stream bridge.
  • Use Uniform::HTTP 0.04 as the runtime HTTP message layer.
  • Make Unblock::HTTP3::Request and Unblock::HTTP3::Response thin subclasses of the canonical Uniform request and response classes.
  • Accept plain Uniform::HTTP::Request objects directly for client requests.
  • Use Uniform's Extended CONNECT protocol metadata, ordered trailers, section mutability, fidelity, and completeness APIs directly.
  • Move streaming-body and buffered receive progress into Transaction so a Uniform body is exposed only when the complete buffered body is known.
  • Remove the duplicate Unblock::HTTP3::_Message implementation.
  • Add Unblock::HTTP3::Transaction for multiplexed request/response state.
  • Add real request and response exchange over UDP, QUIC, and TLS.
  • Add buffered request and response bodies.
  • Add incremental outgoing bodies with ACK-driven backpressure.
  • Add streaming incoming bodies with explicit QUIC receive credit.
  • Add request and response trailers.
  • Reject framing and routing fields such as Content-Length, Host, and TE from outgoing trailers.
  • Add 1xx informational responses.
  • Add basic CONNECT tunnels with bidirectional DATA and half-close.
  • Add generic Extended CONNECT negotiation and :protocol support.
  • Add generic RFC 9297 Capsule framing, parsing, dispatch, and streams.
  • Add RFC 9297 HTTP Datagrams over Net::QUIC 0.04, including SETTINGS_H3_DATAGRAM, Quarter Stream ID routing, Transaction send/receive APIs, bounded receive buffering, and H3_DATAGRAM_ERROR handling.
  • Add persistent opaque HTTP/3 SETTINGS state for 0-RTT.
  • Add explicit replay-aware 0-RTT requests and HTTP Datagrams.
  • Validate accepted 0-RTT SETTINGS, including RFC 9204 QPACK rules.
  • Roll rejected QUIC 0-RTT back to fresh HTTP/3 state for safe 1-RTT retry.
  • Add generic HTTP/3 extension unidirectional streams.
  • Add RFC 9218 request priority fields and live Transaction priority updates.
  • Synchronize libnghttp3 client-stream ID validation with Net::QUIC stream limits.
  • Add rejected CONNECT handling and CONNECT cleanup coverage.
  • Add out-of-order multiplexing coverage.
  • Add STOP_SENDING, RESET_STREAM, and stream-close handling.
  • Release cancelled streaming buffers while preserving late ACK accounting.
  • Add bounded transmit and receive buffering.
  • Add field-section and body resource limits.
  • Honor peer SETTINGS_MAX_FIELD_SECTION_SIZE before sending header or trailer sections.
  • Add configurable QPACK limits.
  • Validate HTTP/3 62-bit integer settings before native setup.
  • Add generic extension SETTINGS advertisement, peer inspection, and validation.
  • Respect HTTP/3-reserved and GREASE setting identifiers.
  • Add HTTP/3 field validation and connection-specific field rules.
  • Validate Host/:authority routing, http/https path form, and CONNECT host/port semantics.
  • Reject malformed received routing fields with H3_MESSAGE_ERROR on the affected request stream without closing unrelated streams.
  • Add bodyless response rules for HEAD, 204, 205, and 304.
  • Validate outgoing Content-Length for buffered and streaming bodies.
  • Add HTTP/3 graceful shutdown support.
  • Map fatal libnghttp3 parser errors to QUIC application close errors.
  • Remove completed stream, transaction, and native body state.
  • Keep event loops, UDP sockets, TLS, and QUIC packet processing outside Unblock::HTTP3.
  • Test dependencies from CPAN rather than GitHub development code.
  • Make TLS loopback tests self-contained with bundled localhost fixtures instead of requiring the openssl command-line tool.
  • Simplify README and public POD into the standard practical CPAN format.
  • Add consistent SYNOPSIS, METHODS, SEE ALSO, AUTHOR, and LICENSE sections across the public API documentation.
  • Keep repository-only planning, release, contribution, security, and public-network test material out of the CPAN distribution.
  • Add public interoperability tests against Cloudflare and LiteSpeed HTTP/3 servers, with Google retained as a diagnostic target.
