I found an elegant solution for the problem of Haskell vs Linux capabilities explained in "QUIC and Linux capabilities". To know why the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability is necessary, please read this article in advance. On Linux, the follo…

For security reasons, the typical boot process of HTTPS servers is as follows: Executed by a root. Reading a TLS private key and open a listen socket on TCP port 443. Switching the root user to nobody (or something). Since accept() can cre…

h2spec is an excellent test tool to check if HTTP/2 servers can handle error cases correctly. When I was developing HTTP/2 server library in Haskell, I used to utilize Firefox and Chrome for normal cases and h2spec for error cases. h2spec …

In recent days, QUIC is hot. As the following blog posts describe, the standardization of QUIC is now in the final stage and h3-29 (HTTP/3 over QUIC of draft 29) is out there: Chrome is deploying HTTP/3 and IETF QUIC How Facebook is bringi…

In "Implementation status of QUIC in Haskell", I briefly described QUIC APIs of the TLS library in Haskell. I first invented APIs based on static functions but switched to the thread-based approach to follow Olivier Chéron's recommendation…

For last two months, I have been trying to implement "QUIC Loss Detection and Congestion Control" in Haskell. This blog article describes a brief summary on what I have done. ACK handling Before loss detection and congestion control were d…

QUICは、一年半実装を続けている僕でも全容を把握できているとは言い難いほど大きなプロトコルですが、ある側面をさっと理解するには、n月刊ラムダノート Vol.2, No.1(2020)に西田さんが書かれた「パケットの設計から見るQUIC」がオススメです。ただ、QUICの…

Mew.org is now speaking HTTP/3 (HTTP/2 over QUIC). If you gain access to the site using Firefox Nightly, the first connection would be HTTP/2 then the following connections should be HTTP/3 led by Alt-Svc:. Firefox Nightly This article exp…

After implementing HTTP/2 in Haskell and TLS 1.3 in Haskell, I have been working for IETF QUIC. This article explains what I have done in 2019 fiscal year of Japan to report our sponsor, Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ). I have both titles …
