Protocol geeks might like the new proposals on how to do #QUIC over TCP/TLS: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/… (called Streams) and then how to do #http3 over Streams: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/…

Discussed on the #HTTPbis mailing list.

since you're involved in this anyway; is there some kind of plan for making different streams in a quic connection have different protocols?
in reply to Peter Bindels

@dascandy42 I have not seen any such proposals, no. I'm not sure I see the point since creating new connections over QUIC is fairly cheap
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

Just a thought I'd had a few times. It feels wasteful and less secure to have multiple connections and handshakes when each connection itself has multiple streams.
in reply to Peter Bindels

@dascandy42 a new QUIC connection can be setup with 0-RTT. A new stream can for example not use another port, so you would have to invent a new way to signal the destination.

Isn't it disallowed to use a PSK for a different ALPN protocol?

But still, 1-RTT wouldn't be that harsh.

Oh boy

I'll pass this along, I'm pretty sure I'll get a few exclamation points back.
