This adds RFC 7301 ALPN extension support to the TLS client implementation.

Changes:

  • Added alpn_protocols field to Client.Options to specify protocols
  • Added negotiated_alpn field to Client to store the negotiated protocol
  • Implemented ALPN extension encoding in ClientHello
  • Implemented ALPN extension parsing in ServerHello
  • Added tests for ALPN functionality

This enables proper HTTP/2 negotiation over TLS, which is required by many modern services including gRPC endpoints.

@avosa your urgent message reads like AI slop

I assume since you are using http/2 or grpc, that you could just fork the TlsClient out and use it in your downstream implementation and unblock yourself without waiting for zig 0.16.0

Exactly, that would work as a temporary workaround. I just wanted it addressed upstream so it can land in the next version, avoiding downstream forks and letting others avoid this blocker sooner.

I mean, if this is true it doesn't require an URGENT request less than 2 hours after filing the PR, since the next release is probably weeks/months away.

We have a strict no LLM/AI policy.

I tried to give this PR the benefit of the doubt, but a quick glance shows that not only is the above comment clearly LLM slop, but so is the code:

  • Without even checking I can see that it has compile errors, e.g. Client.zig:295, so obviously hasn't been tested in any capacity, even just running the existing standard library tests
  • The added test file, aside from not being referenced, is bogus: the first test once again has obvious compile errors, and the second test literally says it would be too complex to test properly so instead does something meaningless (...and illegal, so the test is basically guaranteed to fail or crash)
  • There are several bugs, such as stack UAFs, which would have been caught with any amount of testing
  • A @memmove is turned into a @memcpy with literally no context or explanation?!

Additionally, pinging multiple core contributors completely at random is disrespectful of people's time -- even if it weren't slop, this PR would not be higher priority than others.
