Funny, I saw this on HN while I was taking a break from testing Caddy, which has HTTP/3 support, and is even enabled by default. I suppose it's based on Go's implementation. I'm using Apache at the moment and it's working great. HTTP/3 isn't even in the horizon for Apache, and it is the reason why I'm trying out Caddy/Nginx/OpenLitepseed in the first place. Would nghttp3 eventually bring HTTP/3 to Apache?

> I'm using Apache at the moment and it's working great. You know, Apache is pretty decent. I'm actually surprised that they added ACME functionality with mod_md before Nginx, so now you can get Let's Encrypt certs without the need for certbot: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_md.html https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_md.html If you turn off .htaccess the performance is okay as well (closer to how Nginx has nginx.conf), their mod_security performs pretty well and I'm not sure of that many alternatives to mod_auth_openidc elsewhere. Of course, Nginx, Caddy and other web servers are really nice too!

  Yeah I've built quite a lot of muscle memory having used Apache for about a decade too, and the configuration felt quite intuitive, but Caddy's configuration is such a fresh breath and I'm really enjoying it so far. More than Apache's to be honest.

Actually, the go stdlib doesn't support it yet. Here's the relevant issue, including some perspective by caddy's lead developer: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/32204 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/32204

I’m a big fan of nginx. Incredibly fast and reliable. But it doesn’t support HTTP/3 out of the box using the distributions available from system package managers like apt.

  HTTP/3 is supported in Nginx 1.25, available from nginx.org's repo. I tried it a couple days ago, and worked great. None of the Nginx builds available out there seemed to fit my use cases perfectly, so I resolved to customize it (https://gist.github.com/Ayesh/7c7a1bf08d37497aef8672644a7fd5e5 https://gist.github.com/Ayesh/7c7a1bf08d37497aef8672644a7fd5...) to my exact use cases. I gave up on Nginx because it was impossible, or incredibly difficult to figure out how to append/modify HTTP headers. I wanted to send CSP headers if the reverse proxied application did not set on their own, and I wasted a whole fruitless day trying to do it. I gave up.
