Parameters priority, redirect_url_config, and fixed_response_config can be specified in a forwarding policy. Parameter type can be set to METHOD, HEADER, QUERY_STRING, or SOURCE_IP for a forwarding rule . If type is set to HOST_NAME for a forwarding rule, the value parameter of the forwarding rule supports wildcard asterisks (). The conditions* parameter can be specified for forwarding rules.

NOTE: The client sends a normal HTTP request that contains information indicating that the QUIC protocol is supported. If QUIC upgrade is enabled for the listeners, QUIC port and version information will be added to the response header. When the client sends both HTTPS and QUIC requests to the server, if the QUIC request is successfully sent, QUIC protocol will be used for subsequent communications. QUIC protocol is not supported.
