Description
Maintainer: @stangri
Hi,
cURL OpenWrt package currently does not support HTTP/3 support but should. This protocol is now widely used everywhere, is supported in all major browsers, and has many advantages over HTTPS/2 including speed and privacy.
For example https-dns-proxy can now use HTTP/3 for DNS resolvers that use it. DNS is extremely latency sensitive in which a faster protocol would benefit it and be noticeable on pageload and responsiveness on OpenWrt connected devices.
