Interesting: Bootstrapping HTTPS

Jan Schaumann published an interesting blog post describing the circuitous journey a browser might take to figure out that it can use QUIC with a web server.

Now, if only there were a record in a distributed database telling the browser what the web server supports. Oh, wait… Not surprisingly, browser vendors don’t trust that data and have implemented a happy eyeballs-like protocol to decide between HTTPS over TCP and QUIC.
