Current picoquic WebTransport clients refuse to send CONNECT when the mvfst listener omits the required reset_stream_at transport parameter. Enable advertisedReliableResetStreamSupport in the listener's transport settings so those clients can establish sessions.

Add real loopback handshake tests that verify the server's advertisement and acceptance of an HTTP/3 peer that does not advertise the extension.

Refs #752

Validation:

  • Default build succeeded; changed C++ files passed clang-format-19, and git diff --check passed.
  • Both new regression tests passed. The advertisement test failed against the original settings, as expected.
  • Both tests passed under ASan/UBSan; instrumentation covers moqx, with the pinned dependency stack uninstrumented.
  • The picoquic publisher reproduced the missing-parameter failure before the fix, then reached namespace/catalog publishing over WebTransport after the fix. Native QUIC also reached namespace/catalog publishing. No downstream media delivery was tested.
  • Full suite: 21 failures/timeouts out of 1124 tests, in UpstreamProviderTest, UpstreamSetupCancelledTest, and RelayUpstreamSubscribeRaceTest. Those fixtures bind ::1, while localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 on this host. Both new tests passed in the full run.

Scope and remaining limitations:

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • QUIC connections now advertise support for reliable stream resets, helping clients identify this transport capability.
  • Tests
    • Added connection checks for clients both with and without reliable-reset support, including confirmation that connections remain healthy when the capability is not advertised by the client.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The relay now advertises reliable reset-stream support in its QUIC transport settings. A new integration test target checks connections over HTTP/3 when the client enables or disables that support.

Changes

Relay reliable reset-stream support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Advertise reliable reset-stream support
src/MoqxRelayServer.cpp
buildTransportSettings sets advertisedReliableResetStreamSupport to true.
Test relay reset-stream behavior
test/MoqxRelayServerTest.cpp, test/CMakeLists.txt
A loopback test fixture connects clients over h3. Tests check peer support reporting when the client advertises reliable reset-stream support and a good client state when it does not. CMake registers the test target.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7d9fb

The new tests may fail on hosts without IPv6 loopback, but no production failure is established. The change is mergeable with awareness of that test-platform dependency.

the pinned mvfst advertises and can send RESET_STREAM_AT, but rejects incoming ones. The server closes the whole connection with PROTOCOL_VIOLATION "Reliable resets not supported" (quic/server/state/ServerStateMachine.cpp). mvfst main still does this, so a moxygen sync won't fix it.

This matters mid-session, not only at teardown. Once both sides advertise, picoquic's WebTransport layer resets every stream it opened with RESET_STREAM_AT (picohttp/webtransport.c:182). So a picoquic WT publisher drops its relay connection the first time it resets a subgroup stream. That still beats not connecting at all, but before merging:

  1. Please check that a Chrome WT client survives a mid-session reset/unsubscribe. Clients that work today may start sending RESET_STREAM_AT once we offer it.
  2. Make the comment at src/MoqxRelayServer.cpp:136 say that mvfst rejects incoming RESET_STREAM_AT.
  3. Add a test where the mvfst client calls updateReliableDeliveryCheckpoint + resetStreamReliably on a uni stream. It records the current connection close and will flip when mvfst is fixed.
  4. Open a tracking issue for mvfst receive support. The stream state machine already handles reliable size; the frame-dispatch guard seems to be the main blocker.

Minor: AcceptsHttp3PeerWithoutReliableResetSupport passes with or without this change, and the setting is listener-wide, not WebTransport-only.

  // Start with MoQServer's optimized defaults, then apply config overrides.
  quic::TransportSettings ts;
  // WebTransport over HTTP/3 draft-16 section 3.1 requires reset_stream_at.

Don't need a two line comment on this one setting prbably


test/MoqxRelayServerTest.cpp line 23 at r1 (raw file):

namespace {

class MoqxRelayServerTest : public ::testing::Test {

I wonder if we would prefer to use one of the shell/integration tests instead?
