Can the Server side initiate a Stream and send data over it?

[chemsallioua]

Hi, I am new to the MSQUIC library, and I am struggling to do just basic Server - Client connection.

I want the Server to listen for connections, and the Client to connect and open a QUIC Connection. When the connection is established, It's the server that should start STREAMS in the connection, and send data over it. I tried to do so, but on the client side i receive an Connection EVENT of type QUIC_CONNECTION_EVENT_PEER_NEEDS_STREAMS.

Does that mean that the Server cannot start streams, but it can express the need for streams and its the Cleint who actually has to open streams?

Thank you!

Yep! The client just needs to configure its settings to allow for the server to create streams. Streams can always be created by either side, if the peer allows.

Expanding on what Nick said, see Settings and QUIC_SETTINGS. The PeerBidiStreamCount and PeerUniDiStreamCount need to be non-zero on the client side to allow the server to open streams.

Thank you for the very fast reply! That was what I needed.
Out of curiosity is there an app based on MSQUIC which facilitates the development of apps on top of them?
I am writing one starting from the sample available on the repo, but It is not tested and not complete.

I would appreciate your help.
