 OSSL_QUIC_server_method() with L<SSL_new(3)> will result in an error.

+The OSSL_QUIC_method() provides generic QUIC protocol support when a user wishes to
+defer selection of server or client protocol functionality until such time as a
+connection is made.  This is similar to the functionality provided by
+L<DTLS_method(3)>, and can be used with the SSL_listen_ex() call, which behaves

+The SSL_listen_ex() function behaves in a similar fashion to L<DTLSv1_listen(3)>
+in that it polls a listening SSL object, and, if a new connection is available,
+writes that connection into the SSL object pointed to by B<new_conn>.  Note that
+once a connection is returned from a listener via this call, accepting
+connections via L<SSL_accept_connection(3)> is no longer permissible, and will

+(such as L<SSL_poll(3)>), and will set the port into a mode in which L<SSL_accept_connection(3)>
