The ngtcp2 and nghttp3 dependencies provide the core functionality for QUIC and HTTP/3.
The sources are pulled from:
- ngtcp2: https://github.com/ngtcp2/ngtcp2
- nghttp3: https://github.com/ngtcp2/nghttp3
In both the ngtcp2
and nghttp3
git repos, the active development occurs
in the default branch (currently named main
in each). Tagged versions do not
always point to the default branch.
We only use a subset of the sources for each.
The nghttp3
library depends on ngtcp2
. Both should always be updated
together. From ngtcp2
we only want the contents of the lib
and crypto
directories; from nghttp3
we only want the contents of the lib
directory.
After updating either dependency, check if any source files or include
directories have been added or removed and update ngtcp2.gyp
accordingly.
To update ngtcp2, replace v0.8.1
with the desired git tag:
$ git clone --depth=1 --branch=v0.8.1 https://github.com/ngtcp2/ngtcp2
$ cd ngtcp2
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure --prefix=$PWD/build --enable-lib-only
$ cp -R lib/* ../node/deps/ngtcp2/ngtcp2/lib/
$ cp -R crypto/* ../node/deps/ngtcp2/ngtcp2/crypto/
To update nghttp3, replace v0.7.0
with the desired git tag:
$ git clone --depth=1 --branch=v0.7.0 https://github.com/ngtcp2/nghttp3
$ cd nghttp3
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure --prefix=$PWD/build --enable-lib-only
$ cp -R lib/* ../node/deps/ngtcp2/nghttp3/lib/
