This diff changes the data format to prefer "udp" to "quic" everywhere we were previously using "quic". Previously, the code inconsistently used "quic" for operations where we knew we were using "quic" and "udp" otherwise (e.g., for generic operations like ReadFrom). While it would be more correct to say that a specific HTTP request used "quic" rather than "udp", using "udp" consistently allows one to see how distinct events such as ReadFrom and an handshake all refer to the same address, port, and protocol triple. Therefore, this change makes it easier to programmatically unpack a single measurement and create endpoint stats. Before implementing this change, I discussed the problem with @hellais who mentioned that ooni/data is not currently using the "quic" string anywhere. I know that ooni/pipeline also doesn't rely on this string. The only users of this feature have been research-oriented experiments such as urlgetter, for which such a change would actually be acceptable. See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2238 and https://github.com/ooni/spec/pull/262. |

OONI Probe Client Library and CLI
The Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) is a non-profit free software project that aims to empower decentralized efforts in documenting Internet censorship around the world.
This repository contains core OONI tools written in Go:
-
the CLI client (cmd/ooniprobe);
-
the test helper server (internal/cmd/oohelperd);
-
the mobile library (pkg/oonimkall);
-
the OONI Probe engine (inside internal).
Every top-level directory in this repository contains an explanatory README file. You
may also notice that some internal packages live under internal/engine
while most others are top-level. This is part of a long-standing refactoring started when we merged
https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine into this repository. We'll slowly
ensure that all packages inside engine are moved out of it and inside internal.
Semantic versioning policy
The mobile library is a public package for technical reasons. Go mobile tools require
a public package to build from. Yet, we don't consider API breakages happening in
such a package to be sufficient to bump our major version number. For us, the mobile
library is just a mean to implement OONI Probe Android and OONI Probe iOS. We'll
only bump the major version number if we change ./cmd/ooniprobe's CLI.

Build instructions
Be sure you have:
-
the golang version mentioned inside the GOVERSION file;
-
a C compiler (Mingw-w64 for Windows).
Caveats
As of 2022-08-22, building with go1.19 will not include Psiphon as a dependency. Fixing this issue is TODO(https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2222).
ooniprobe
Ooniprobe is the official CLI client. Compile using:
go build -v -ldflags "-s -w" ./cmd/ooniprobe
This will generate a binary called ooniprobe in the current directory.
miniooni
Miniooni is the experimental OONI client used for research. Compile using:
go build -v -ldflags "-s -w" ./internal/cmd/miniooni
This will generate a binary called miniooni in the current directory.
oohelperd
Oohelperd is the test helper server. Compile using:
go build -v -ldflags "-s -w" ./internal/cmd/oohelperd
This will generate a binary called oohelperd in the current directory.
Specifications
Every nettest (aka experiment) implemented in this repository has a companion spec in ooni/spec.
