Help with HTTP/3

I know from the docs that HTTP/3 support in Caddy 2 is experimental and not guaranteed to work. But since Apple added support in Safari 14 on macOS Big Sur and iOS 14, I wanted to try it on my blog and could not make it work. I guess my configuration is not correct, since it’s not working in Firefox or Chrome either.

Here’s my full Caddyfile :

I’m using Caddy v2.0.0 h1:pQSaIJGFluFvu8KDGDODV8u4/QRED/OPyIR+MWYYse8= installed with the official Ubuntu package, on Ubuntu 20.04.

Let me know if you need logs to debug this, but as far as I can tell, there is no error inside. They just confirm I’m using only HTTP/2 protocole right now. I also tried checking on this website, and it also say it does not work.

Thanks ! :slight_smile:

HTTP/3 works in Caddy. Which draft of HTTP/3 does Safari support? It has to be the same draft that Caddy is serving.

Draft 27 it seems : https://twitter.com/bagder/status/1275351446268129280

But even if Safari is not compatible, what about Chrome and Firefox ? Of course, I activated the option for every browser.

Safari seems a bit behind. The latest versions of Caddy serve draft-29. I’m not sure which drafts Chrome and Firefox support; probably depends on which versions you’re using.

OK for Safari, it makes sense.

I tried using latest stable versions of Firefox and Chrome, and also the latest Chrome Canary version. But I have never seen the HTTP/3 being used on my blog.

Do you have a way to check if it should work on the server side ?

You could give this a shot, it’ll try to connect to your server with curl + http3

It seems fine according to this website (and using the same version than Safari, apparently) :

So, i suppose it’s a browser issue ? Is there some tip I’m not aware of ?

If somebody with a working http/3 browser could try my website, just to confirm it’s working, it would be great. :slightly_smiling_face: https://voiretmanger.fr

I updated to Caddy 2.1 this morning, and nothing changed for me. My website is recognised as compatible with H3-29, but still noting in Safari, Firefox or Chrome Canary.

Is there something I’m missing somewhere ?

I am in the same situation.

Geekflare HTTP/3 Testing Tool It says enabled on this site,

but https://http3check.net says it is not possible.
