| We remove support for this OpenSSL version from curl in June 2026. | |
| + | ## OpenSSL-QUIC |
| + | |
| + | OpenSSL-QUIC is what we call the curl QUIC backend that uses the OpenSSL QUIC |
| + | stack. |
| + | |
| + | - It is slower and uses more memory than the alternatives and is only |
| + | experimental in curl. |
| + | - It gets little attention from OpenSSL and we have no expectation of the |
| + | major flaws getting corrected anytime soon. |
| + | - No one has spoken up for keeping it |
| + | - curl users building with vanilla OpenSSL can still use QUIC through the |
| + | means of ngtcp2 |
| + | |
| + | We remove the OpenSSL-QUIC backend in March 2026. |
