Get a head start with QUIC

Cloudflare has opened a beta deployment of QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) with its test site, cloudflare-quic.com. The company's Systems Engineering Team is known for investing in new technologies before they are standardized or adopted elsewhere. QUIC aims to improve internet security and speed by combining HTTP/2 and TLS 1.3 into a single protocol. To access the test site using QUIC, users need to use a command-line client from one of the various implementations of QUIC that are actively evolving alongside the IETF standard. The blog post provides detailed instructions on how to build and use the ngtcp2 client for this purpose.
