You can still use a self-signed cert with HTTP3 (including rightly scary warnings for visitors) or you can make your own CA and distribute the cert (no scary warnings when people visit your site).

I will believe this when I see it, thank you

the zealous "you must obey the law" tone of SOME comments here reinforces the worst stereotypes of corporate apparats.. individuals doing the bidding of institutions based on the letter of their "laws"

Human history has shown again and again that this ends badly .. HTTP is OK with ME

I'm on my phone so I can't confirm this is http3, but how about https://self-signed.badssl.com/

[mistrial9]

ok

[mistrial9]

yes minus-k says "less checking, generally proceed" but does it remember that certificate? maybe not

[jefftk]

I wouldn't want curl to remember the exception. It's not like a browser: just because I'm currently testing a site with -k does not mean I never want it to perform the normal careful checks.

[nl]

This seems like it... works exactly as intended?

If you decide you trust that certificate (which can be a legitimate thing to do - the cert signature could be communicated to you via out-of-band trusted mechanisms) then https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html explains how to trust it.

[jefftk]

Among other things that's saying it's a self-signed cert and can do HTTP2. So that Chrome on my phone will connect to it does confirm that you can do self-signed certs with HTTP2 at least.

> HTTP is OK with ME

How do you propose to secure user sessions and prevent MITM or tracking otherwise?

[bombcar]

That battle is mostly lost anyway - the web is what Google and Apple let you see for the most part for most users.

[mistrial9]

I encourage you to take solace in stories of courage and invention at this challenging time in history.
