1.9.2 compatibility issues with nginx HTTP/3

[Zero Clover]

Because I don't want to use the default Path /dns-query, I run AGH (AdGuard Home) behind nginx so that I can modify the path.

Here is my nginx configuration snippet:

upstream agh {
        server 127.0.0.1:12345;
      }

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
        default upgrade;
        ''      close;
    }

server {
	listen 443 ssl reuseport;
        listen [::]:443 ssl reuseport;
	listen 443 quic reuseport;
	listen [::]:443 quic reuseport;
        http2 on;

        server_name dns.domain.tld;

        add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" always;
	add_header Alt-Svc 'h3=":443"; ma=86400' always;

...

        location /mypath {
                proxy_pass https://agh/dns-query;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Host      $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
                proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding '';
                proxy_redirect   off;
                proxy_buffering off;
        }

nginx version:

nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.25.2
built with OpenSSL 3.1.2+quic 1 Aug 2023

There are no issues when using dnslookup 1.9.1, but when using 1.9.2, queries cannot be completed:

dnslookup google.com h3://dns.domain.tld/mypath
dnslookup v1.9.2
2023/09/08 04:08:04 [fatal] Cannot make the DNS request: requesting https:///dns.domain.tld:443/mypath: Get_0rtt "https:///dns.domain.tld:443/mypath?dns=AAABAAABAAAAAAAABmdvb2dsZQNjb20AAAEAAQ": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

But there is no issue in other DoH clients that support HTTP/3 (including AGH itself).

I'm not quite sure what caused the problem, if you could take the time to check this issue, I would be very grateful.

Hmm, the only relevant change was quic-go update. Let me move it to dnsproxy repo as DNS upstreams implementation comes from that library.

Hm, I tried reproducing it and couldn't.

Here is what I did.

1. This is the configuration that I used:

   Nginx configuration

   upstream dns_google {
       server dns.google:443;
   }
   
   server {
       # quic and http/3
       listen 443 quic reuseport;
   
       # http/2 and http/1.1
       listen 443 ssl reuseport;
       http2 on;
   
       server_name localhost;  # customize to match your domain
   
       # you need to mount these files when running this container
       ssl_certificate     /etc/nginx/ssl/certificate.crt;
       ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/certificate.key;
   
       # Enable all TLS versions (TLSv1.3 is required for QUIC).
       ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
   
       # 0-RTT QUIC connection resumption
       ssl_early_data on;
   
       # Add Alt-Svc header to negotiate HTTP/3.
       add_header alt-svc 'h3=":8443"; ma=2592000';
   
       # Sent when QUIC was used
       # add_header QUIC-Status $quic;
   
       location / {
           return 200 'hello';
           add_header Content-Type text/plain;
           add_header alt-svc 'h3=":8443"; ma=2592000';
       }
   
       location /dns-query {
           proxy_pass https://dns_google/dns-query;
           proxy_set_header Host dns.google;
           add_header alt-svc 'h3=":8443"; ma=2592000';
       }
   }
   

2. Used a docker image to run it locally:

   docker run -it --rm \
       -p 8443:443/tcp -p 8443:443/udp \
       -v ~/Downloads/nginx/nginx/conf.d:/etc/nginx/conf.d \
       -v ~/Downloads/nginx/nginx/ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl \
       macbre/nginx-http3
   

3. Here's the dnslookup output:

   VERIFY=0 dnslookup example.org h3://localhost:8443/dns-query
   dnslookup 1.9.2
   TLS verification has been disabled
   dnslookup result (elapsed 302.249125ms):
