Server

moqt.Server manages server-side operations for the MoQ protocol. It listens for incoming QUIC connections, dispatches them based on ALPN negotiation, and manages their lifecycle.

The server uses ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation) to determine the transport:

• moq-lite-04 (moqt.NextProtoMOQ) — Native QUIC, dispatched to Server.Handler
• h3 (moqt.NextProtoH3) — WebTransport via HTTP/3, dispatched to Server.WebTransportServer

func main() {
    mux := moqt.NewTrackMux(0)

    server := moqt.Server{
        Addr: ":9000",
        TLSConfig: &tls.Config{
            NextProtos:   []string{moqt.NextProtoH3, moqt.NextProtoMOQ},
            Certificates: []tls.Certificate{loadCert()},
        },
        QUICConfig: &quic.Config{
            Allow0RTT:       true,
            EnableDatagrams: true,
        },
        TrackMux: mux,
        Handler: moqt.HandleFunc(func(sess *moqt.Session) {
            slog.Info("Native QUIC session established")
            <-sess.Context().Done()
        }),
        WebTransportServer: &webtransportgo.Server{},
        Logger: slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, &slog.HandlerOptions{
            Level: slog.LevelInfo,
        })),
    }

    err := server.ListenAndServe()
    if err != nil {
        slog.Error("Failed to start server", "error", err)
    }
}

Initialize a Server

There is no dedicated function (such as a constructor) for initializing a server. Users define the struct directly and assign values to its fields as needed.

    server := moqt.Server{
        // Set server options here
    }

Configuration

The following table describes the public fields of the Server struct:

quic-go/quic-go is used internally as the default QUIC implementation when relevant fields which is set for customization are not set or nil.

To use a custom QUIC implementation, you need to provide your own ListenFunc. When Server.ListenFunc is set, it is used to listen for incoming QUIC connections instead of the default implementation.

gomoqt/moqt/server.go

type Server struct {
    // ...
	ListenFunc func(addr string, tlsConfig *tls.Config, quicConfig *quic.Config) (QUICListener, error)
    // ...
}

quic-go/webtransport-go is used internally as the default WebTransport implementation when WebTransportServer is nil.

quic-go/webtransport-go

New in main branch

To use a custom WebTransport implementation, provide your own implementation of the WebTransportServer interface:

gomoqt/moqt/server.go

type WebTransportServer interface {
    ServeQUICConn(conn StreamConn) error
    Close() error
}

Handle Sessions

ALPN-Based Dispatch

ServeQUICConn detects the negotiated ALPN protocol and dispatches the connection accordingly:

    // Native QUIC (moq-lite-04) → Server.Handler.ServeMOQ(sess)
    // HTTP/3 (h3)               → Server.WebTransportServer.ServeQUICConn(conn)

Native QUIC Handler

For native QUIC connections (ALPN moq-lite-04), the Handler field receives a *moqt.Session directly:

type Handler interface {
    ServeMOQ(sess *Session)
}

    server := moqt.Server{
        Handler: moqt.HandleFunc(func(sess *moqt.Session) {
            slog.Info("Session established",
                "remote", sess.RemoteAddr(),
                "version", sess.ConnectionState().Version,
            )
            <-sess.Context().Done()
        }),
        // ...
    }

WebTransport Handler

For WebTransport connections, use moqt.WebTransportHandler to handle HTTP upgrade and session setup:

    wtHandler := &moqt.WebTransportHandler{
        TrackMux: mux,
        Handler: moqt.HandleFunc(func(sess *moqt.Session) {
            slog.Info("WebTransport session established")
            <-sess.Context().Done()
        }),
        CheckOrigin: func(r *http.Request) bool {
            return r.Header.Get("Origin") == "https://trusted.example.com"
        },
        FetchHandler: moqt.FetchHandlerFunc(func(w *moqt.GroupWriter, r *moqt.FetchRequest) {
            // Handle fetch requests
        }),
        Logger: logger,
    }

    http.Handle("/moq", wtHandler)

WebTransportHandler implements http.Handler and can be used with any HTTP server. It upgrades the HTTP/3 connection to WebTransport, creates a session, and invokes the configured Handler.

Run the Server

Server.ListenAndServe starts the server listening for incoming connections.

    server.ListenAndServe()

For more advanced use cases:

• ListenAndServeTLS(certFile, keyFile string): Starts the server with TLS certificates loaded from files.
• ServeQUICListener(ln QUICListener): Serves on an existing QUIC listener.
• ServeQUICConn(conn StreamConn): Handles a single QUIC connection directly.

Shutting Down a Server

Servers also support immediate and graceful shutdowns.

Immediate Shutdown

Server.Close method terminates all sessions and closes listeners forcefully.

    server.Close() // Immediate shutdown

Graceful Shutdown

Server.Shutdown method notifies all active sessions with NextSessionURI as the redirect and waits for them to close gracefully before forcing termination.

    server := moqt.Server{
        NextSessionURI: "https://backup.example.com/moq",
        // ...
    }

    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
    defer cancel()
    err := server.Shutdown(ctx)
    if err != nil {
        // Handle forced termination
    }

If the context expires before all sessions close, remaining connections are closed with a GoAwayTimeoutErrorCode.
