5LiteSpeed QUIC (LSQUIC) Library README
6=============================================
7
8Description
9-----------
10
11LiteSpeed QUIC (LSQUIC) Library is an open-source implementation of QUIC
12and HTTP/3 functionality for servers and clients.  Most of the code in this
13distribution is used in our own products: LiteSpeed Web Server, LiteSpeed ADC,
14and OpenLiteSpeed.  Do not hesitate to report bugs back to us.  Even better,
15send us fixes and improvements!
16
17Currently supported QUIC versions are Q043, Q046, Q050, ID-27, ID-28, ID-29,
18ID-30, and ID-31.  Support for newer versions will be added soon after they
19are released.
20
21Documentation
22-------------
23
24Documentation is available at https://lsquic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
25
26In addition, see example programs for API usage and EXAMPLES.txt for
27some compilation and run-time options.
28
29Requirements
30------------
31
32To build LSQUIC, you need CMake, zlib, and BoringSSL.  The example program
33uses libevent to provide the event loop.
34
35Building BoringSSL
36------------------
37
38BoringSSL is not packaged; you have to build it yourself.  The process is
39straightforward.  You will need `go` installed.
40
411. Clone BoringSSL by issuing the following command:
42
43```
44git clone https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl
45cd boringssl
46```
47
48You may need to install pre-requisites like zlib and libevent.
49
502. Use specific BoringSSL version
51
52```
53git checkout b117a3a0b7bd11fe6ebd503ec6b45d6b910b41a1
54```
55
563. Compile the library
57
58```
59cmake . &&  make
60```
61
62Remember where BoringSSL sources are:
63```
64BORINGSSL=$PWD
65```
66
67If you want to turn on optimizations, do
68
69```
70cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . && make
71```
72
73If you want to build as a library, (necessary to build lsquic itself
74as as shared library) do:
75
76```
77cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1 . && make
78```
79
80Building LSQUIC Library
81-----------------------
82
83LSQUIC's `http_client`, `http_server`, and the tests link BoringSSL
84libraries statically.  Following previous section, you can build LSQUIC
85as follows:
86
871. Get the source code
88
89```
90git clone https://github.com/litespeedtech/lsquic.git
91cd lsquic
92git submodule init
93git submodule update
94```
95
962. Compile the library
97
98Statically:
99
100
101```
102# $BORINGSSL is the top-level BoringSSL directory from the previous step
103cmake -DBORINGSSL_DIR=$BORINGSSL .
104make
105```
106
107As a dynamic library:
108
109```
110cmake -DLSQUIC_SHARED_LIB=1 -DBORINGSSL_DIR=$BORINGSSL .
111make
112```
113
114
1153. Run tests
116
117```
118make test
119```
120
121Building with Docker
122---------
123The library and the example client and server can be built with Docker.
124
125Initialize Git submodules:
126```
127cd lsquic
128git submodule init
129git submodule update
130```
131
132Build the Docker image:
133```
134docker build -t lsquic .
135```
136
137Then you can use the examples from the command line.  For example:
138```
139sudo docker run -it --rm lsquic http_client -s www.google.com  -p / -o version=Q046
140sudo docker run -p 12345:12345/udp -v /path/to/certs:/mnt/certs -it --rm lsquic http_server -c www.example.com,/mnt/certs/chain,/mnt/certs/key
141```
142
143Platforms
144---------
145
146The library has been tested on the following platforms:
147- Linux
148  - i386
149  - x86_64
150  - ARM (Raspberry Pi 3)
151- FreeBSD
152  - i386
153- MacOS
154  - x86_64
155- Android
156  - ARM
157- Windows
158  - x86_64
