Getting Started
===============
Supported Platforms
-------------------
LSQUIC compiles and runs on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Mac OS, and Android.
It has been tested on i386, x86_64, and ARM (Raspberry Pi and Android).
Dependencies
------------
LSQUIC library uses:
- zlib_;
- BoringSSL_; and
- `ls-hpack`_ (as a Git submodule).
- `ls-qpack`_ (as a Git submodule).
The accompanying demo command-line tools use libevent_.
What's in the box
-----------------
- ``src/liblsquic`` -- the library
- ``bin`` -- demo client and server programs
- ``tests`` -- unit tests
Building
--------
To build the library, follow instructions in the README_ file.
Demo Examples
-------------
Fetch Google home page:
::
./http_client -s www.google.com -p / -o version=Q050
Run your own server (it does not touch the filesystem, don't worry):
::
./http_server -c www.example.com,fullchain.pem,privkey.pem -s 0.0.0.0:4433
Grab a page from your server:
::
./http_client -H www.example.com -s 127.0.0.1:4433 -p /
You can play with various options, of which there are many. Use
the ``-h`` command-line flag to see them.
