# `--http3`
Attempt HTTP/3 to the host in the URL, but fallback to earlier HTTP versions
if the HTTP/3 connection establishment fails. HTTP/3 is only available for
HTTPS and not for HTTP URLs.
This option allows a user to avoid using the Alt-Svc method of upgrading to
HTTP/3 when you know that the target speaks HTTP/3 on the given host and port.
When asked to use HTTP/3, curl issues a separate attempt to use older HTTP
versions with a slight delay, so if the HTTP/3 transfer fails or is slow, curl
still tries to proceed with an older HTTP version.

Use --http3-only for similar functionality *without* a fallback.
