ShouldBindLoopbackQUIC: a listener on 127.0.0.1 at port 0 serves a
client through 127.0.0.1 and refuses, within 3 s of a 6 s handshake
timeout, one through this host's first non-loopback IPv4 address (found
with getifaddrs; that half is skipped with a line saying so when there
is none) and one through ::1; only the served connection reaches
connectCallback. A listener on ::1 serves ::1 and refuses 127.0.0.1, and
`localhost` is refused as a bind address.

ShouldReportListenerPortQUIC: a listener on port 0 reports a nonzero
port and a client reaches it there; a second listener on port 0 gets a
different port; a fixed port reads back as itself; the port is still
there after Stop() and moves with the listener. It binds no fixed port of
its own: the fixed-port check reuses the ephemeral port a listener just
let go of.

One request to an http(s) URL with redirects followed by RFC 9110 §15.4:
301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 for every method; a 303 makes the request a
GET without its body and content headers, a 301 or 302 does so for a POST
alone, a 307 or 308 keeps the method and the body. The Location is
resolved against the sending URL by RFC 3986, a hop between http and
https is allowed, Authorization, Proxy-Authorization and Cookie are
dropped on a change of origin, and each hop is a client of its own, since
one ClientHTTP1 is one origin. A redirect without a usable Location, to
another scheme, back to a URL already visited or past maxRedirects comes
back as the response, with `stop` saying why.
The new :URL partition is the URL type behind it, exported: Parse,
Resolve (RFC 3986 §5.2; its §5.4 examples are the test), ToString, and
the pieces a request is built from.
This replaces the FetchHTTP1 free function, which followed redirects the
way Python's urllib did (its repeat limit, its quoting of the Location, a
POST turned back on a 307) for a port that no longer needs the fidelity.
Breaking: FetchHTTP1, FetchOptionsHTTP1 and FetchResultHTTP1 are gone;
use ClientHTTP1::Fetch, FetchOptions and FetchResult, whose `url` is a
URL and whose `limited` became `stop`.
Send() and the receives threw a bare std::runtime_error with the
strerror text, so a caller that reports the cause the way Python does -
"the connection broke ([Errno 104] Connection reset by peer)", which a
language model reads in Crafter.Review's SQL helper output - could not
tell the code. They throw SocketErrorException now, as a failed connect
already does: kind System, the errno, and the same message, still a
std::runtime_error. A receive timeout stays SocketTimeoutException and
a closed peer SocketClosedException.
ShouldReportIoErrors: a peer that resets the connection (SO_LINGER 0)
fails the next receive with ECONNRESET and a send into it with EPIPE
or ECONNRESET.

- ClientHTTP1 gains connectTimeout (default 15 s), applied to each
address the host resolves to. `timeout` only ever bounded the waits for
a response, so a host that drops the SYNs held Send() for the kernel's
retries, about two minutes, whatever the caller had asked for.
- The default Host header puts an IPv6 literal in brackets.
- FetchHTTP1(url, options) makes one request to an http:// or https://
URL and follows redirects as Python's urllib does, so urllib code ported
over keeps its behaviour: 301/302/303/307/308 for GET and HEAD,
301/302/303 for POST (re-sent as a GET without its body), a relative
Location resolved as urljoin resolves it and percent-encoded as urllib
quotes it, http and https hops mixed, each redirect's body read before
the next request, and the chain stopped by urllib's limits (4 repeats
of one URL, 10 different URLs) with the last redirect returned and
`limited` set. Proxies are not consulted.
New: ShouldTimeoutSilentHTTP1, ShouldFollowRedirectsHTTP1.

A new constructor takes a numeric bind address (127.0.0.1, ::1, 0.0.0.0,
::) and accepts port 0, and Port() reports the port the listener got.
Until now every listener bound 0.0.0.0 at a port the caller chose, so a
helper meant for this machine's own processes was reachable from the
network, and the caller had to guess a free port. A name such as
`localhost` is refused instead of bound to whichever address the
resolver ranks first. The port-only constructor still listens on every
IPv4 interface.
`running` is atomic now: Stop() runs on another thread than the accept
loop that reads it. The accept loops take a sockaddr_storage, so an IPv6
peer's address is no longer cut short.
New: ShouldBindLoopbackEphemeral.

- ClientTCP resolves with AF_UNSPEC and tries every address the name
resolves to, in getaddrinfo's order, the way Python's
socket.create_connection does. It used to ask for AF_INET only and keep
the first answer, so `localhost` could not reach a server listening on
::1 alone, which is what a dev server on a recent Node does. The connect
timeout bounds each address on its own; when none connects, what the
last one failed with is thrown.
- A failed resolve, socket() or connect throws SocketErrorException: the
std::runtime_error it always was, with the same message, plus the errno
(SocketErrorKind::System) or the getaddrinfo code
(SocketErrorKind::Resolver). A caller that reports the cause in its own
words, such as a Python-style "[Errno 111] Connection refused", no
longer has to parse it back out of the text.
- The move constructor carries the resolved addresses along.
New: ShouldConnectDualStack, ShouldReportConnectErrors.

- --no-quic leaves QUIC, HTTP/3 and WebTransport out of the build, and with
them msquic: a consumer that only needs TCP builds no msquic. The flag
isn't passed on to dependencies.
- --local takes Crafter.Thread from the sibling checkout, as the other
Crafter projects do.
- ClientTCP gains SetNoDelay, SetReceiveTimeout, a connect timeout and
SocketTimeoutException.
- TCP receives return the bytes that arrived:
- RecieveSync(n) returned the whole buffer when fewer had come;
- RecieveUntilCloseSync truncated what it had read;
- a signal (EINTR) during a receive threw where it should wait on;
- RecieveSync(size, buffer) returns the count and throws like the others;
- a receive of no bytes returns at once: recv's 0 for it isn't a close.
- Every TCP *Async receive takes an onError(std::exception_ptr): an
exception escaping a ThreadPool task ended the program. An empty onError
drops the error.
- QUIC streams:
- async receives deliver an empty chunk on close, as the browser build does;
- RecieveUntilFullAsync gives what arrived on a stream that closes early;
- RecieveUntilFullSync takes all it asked for or nothing, under one hold
of the lock, so what did arrive stays for the next receive and no
other receive can take bytes from among it;
- SendAsync's callback hears whether the send went out (bool sent): native,
browser, the JS bridge and the example.
- msquic is pinned to v2.6.3 and built against the system OpenSSL
(QUIC_TLS_LIB=openssl, 3.5 or newer). Its bundled quictls read the system's
openssl.cnf, and the Flatpak runtime's (a PKCS#11 engine, with
config_diagnostics on) made it fail to initialise. The README says to use
--no-quic where the distro's OpenSSL is older.
- Tests now register on any Linux triple: they never ran under the Flatpak's
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. New: ShouldBuildWithoutQUIC, ShouldConfigureTCP,
ShouldRecieveTCP, ShouldReportClosedQUICStream.
Breaking: SendAsync's callback takes a bool, the TCP *Async receives take
an onError, and RecieveSync(size, buffer) returns the count.

Every other QUIC test ends in std::_Exit(0), so nothing in the suite ever
ran a ~ClientQUIC. This adds 25 build-up/tear-down cycles with reader
threads parked inside RecieveSync -- the shape a reconnect loop has --
which aborts on ~10/20 runs against the current implementation.

ShouldSendRecieveHTTPS1 replays the plaintext round-trip over TLS, so a
regression in the transport shows up as an HTTP failure rather than
nothing at all, and adds what only exists under TLS: ALPN, scheme=https
reaching handlers, a body spanning many records, and the two ways
verification must fail — an untrusted self-signed certificate, and a
trusted certificate presented for the wrong name. A plaintext peer
knocking on the TLS port is asserted to be counted and shrugged off.
ShouldInteropCurlHTTPS1 puts real implementations on the other end, since
two OpenSSL peers can agree on a mistake. curl verifies our certificate
with --cacert rather than --insecure, and an h2-only curl is asserted to
be refused rather than mis-served. python3's http.server behind
ssl.wrap_socket answers HTTP/1.0 with Connection: close, which frames the
body by close_notify — the path a reader is most likely to get wrong.
ShouldRequireClientCertificateHTTPS1 covers mutual TLS both ways, and
drives TLSStream directly with hand-written HTTP/1.1 to keep the :TLS
layer honest as something usable without :ClientHTTP1 on top.
Also fix a delegation that `{}` no longer disambiguates now that a
three-argument TLS constructor exists alongside the fallback one.

HTTP/1.1 was plaintext-only, which left `https://` to either an HTTP/3
listener or a terminating proxy in front. Neither helps the callers this
stack exists for — curl scripts, CI tooling, old proxies — so wrap the
transport in libssl instead.
Two new partitions:
:Stream a ByteStream with per-call deadlines on both directions, plus
the plaintext socket implementation. The HTTP/1.1 client and
listener now hold a ByteStream& and never learn which
transport they have, which is what lets one code path serve
both schemes.
:TLS TLSContext/TLSStream over OpenSSL 3, with credentials for both
roles: chain and hostname verification on by default, private
trust anchors, client certificates, mutual TLS, ALPN, and an
in-process self-signed certificate for development.
Both descriptors go non-blocking and every read and write is driven by
poll() against a deadline. That is required for TLS — a blocking
descriptor cannot express a handshake timeout — and it means a plaintext
write can now time out too, instead of parking forever against a peer
that stopped reading.
ClientHTTP1 and ListenerHTTP1 gain credential-taking constructors; the
existing ones still speak http://. The listener handshakes on the
connection's own thread, so a peer that stalls mid-handshake costs one
thread rather than the accept loop, and a failed handshake is counted
rather than logged — on a public port it is ordinary traffic.
MessageParser gains SetDefaultScheme so origin-form targets report the
scheme the transport actually used; handlers shared with ListenerHTTP now
see the same "https" they would over HTTP/3.

The point of the feature is that a URL means the same thing over either
protocol, so the test states it that way: one route map plus one
fallback, registered with ListenerHTTP1 and ListenerHTTP, asked the same
eight questions, asserting identical answers.
Covers exact routes beating the fallback, query strings still routing to
the bare path, the fallback seeing the full target including the query,
the fallback choosing its own status (404 and 303), a throwing fallback
becoming a 500, and an unset fallback still producing the listener's own
synthetic 404.
Verified against a broken build both ways: dropping the fallback lookup
fails 9 checks, dropping the query-strip fails 2.
A connection's socket was owned by the registry entry and only released
when the next accept() reaped it, so a peer we had finished with — after
a 408, a 400, or a `connection: close` — never saw EOF and sat waiting
for a server that was done talking. On a server that goes quiet it also
held every descriptor from the last burst indefinitely.
The connection thread now closes its own socket the moment Serve()
returns, under the registry lock so Stop()'s shutdown() can never name a
descriptor that has already been released, and Stop() waits on a
condition variable for the last thread rather than assuming the vector
it moved out is quiescent. Adopt() is also fully guarded: it runs on
ListenerTCP's accept loop, which has no handler, so anything escaping it
would abort the process.
Found by ShouldSurviveAbuseHTTP1, added here: 24 concurrent keep-alive
clients, peers that vanish mid-request or send garbage, and a peer that
stalls forever — the server must keep serving and still stop promptly.

HTTP/3-only is not a deployable position yet: plenty of clients, proxies
and CI tooling still speak nothing but HTTP/1.1. This adds that path
using the request/response types the HTTP/3 stack already uses, so a
route handler or call site moves between the two protocols by changing
the class name.
- :HTTP1 — transport-free wire format. Serialisation with the framing
headers owned by the serialiser, and an incremental parser that takes
arbitrary socket chunks and yields one message at a time: keep-alive,
pipelining, content-length and chunked bodies (with trailers),
read-to-EOF responses, interim 1xx skipping, HEAD/204/304 framing and
Expect: 100-continue. Ambiguous framing is rejected rather than
guessed at (content-length with transfer-encoding, disagreeing
content-lengths, whitespace before a colon), and CR/LF in a value we
are asked to serialise is refused.
- ClientHTTP1 — persistent connection, redialling once when a pooled
connection turns out to have been closed by the peer, which is the
race HTTP/1.1 keep-alive cannot avoid. Nothing is replayed after a
response byte has arrived.
- ListenerHTTP1 — one thread per connection (keep-alive connections are
idle most of their life and would pin every ThreadPool thread),
automatic Date, HEAD, 100-continue, handler-requested close, idle and
request timeouts, and 400/404/500 responses. Routes fall back to the
query-stripped path so `/thing?x=1` reaches the handler for `/thing`.
No TLS: this is `http://` only. Encrypted traffic still goes over
HTTP/3, or through a TLS-terminating proxy.
Tests: codec unit tests including the malformed inputs above, a
client/server round-trip, keep-alive and stale-connection recovery, a
10 MiB body both ways, and interop both directions against curl and
python3's http.server (skipped when those are not installed).

ListenerQUIC installed only a no-op bootstrap connection callback in the
NEW_CONNECTION handler and deferred the real ClientQUIC callback to the
ThreadPool, alongside per-connection onConnect setup. An HTTP/3 peer (notably
Chromium) opens its control + QPACK + request streams the instant the QUIC
handshake completes — potentially before that deferred task ran. Those early
PEER_STREAM_STARTED events were delivered to the bootstrap and silently
dropped, so the session never completed. Over the network this surfaced as an
intermittent "WebTransport connection rejected" that cleared on retry.
Construct the ClientQUIC (and thus install its real connection callback)
synchronously inside NEW_CONNECTION, before the handler returns and before
msquic delivers any further events. pendingAccepted now holds the constructed
ClientQUIC*; the accept loops just dispatch it, and the destructor cleans up
any peer accepted but never dispatched.
Also park WT data streams that arrive before their CONNECT session is
registered (the stream demux races the CONNECT handler) and drain them on
registration, instead of dropping them.
Tests:
- New ShouldNotDropEarlyStreams reproduces the race deterministically by
saturating the ThreadPool so onConnect is gated while the client opens its
request stream; fails on the pre-fix build, passes after.
- Give ShouldEchoWebTransport its own port (8085) so it no longer collides
with ShouldSendRecieveKeepaliveHTTP (8083) under the parallel test runner.
