Description

As a prerequisite to WebTransport (over HTTP3) we need to support HTTP3. This was not initially a plan but since we do want to support the benefits of QUIC we need this. Lsquic has been benchmarked with great results (just as good as uSockets with TLS) which is a great indication of quality.

As a first step, the most basic and simple HTTP3 req/res needs to be supported so that a full benchmark can be done. Minimal or no API changes should be needed

Research direction

Begin by reviewing the existing HTTP request/response implementation and how an lsquic-based HTTP3 path could fit with minimal API changes. The first milestone described is basic HTTP3 request/response support, followed by a full benchmark to evaluate the QUIC benefits.
