Question

Latest Chrome/IE9/Firefox all work fine. IE8 complains that the page cannot be shown and it looks like that the connection is aborted. Here goes the quick test code.

package main

import (
    "time"
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
)

type Handler struct {
}

func (this *Handler) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Hello, %q", r.URL.Path)
}

func main() {
    handler := &Handler{}
    ss := &http.Server{
        Addr: ":443",
        Handler: handler,
        ReadTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
        WriteTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
        MaxHeaderBytes: 1 << 20,
    }
    ss.ListenAndServeTLS("cert.pem", "key.pem")
}

Note that “cert.pem” and “key.pem” are generated by “crypto/tls/generate_cert.go”. I tried a real certificate, and it did not work either.

moved from question as OP didn’t made a proper answer

This problem can be resolved by this patch, “0001-Allow-SSLv2-compatible-client-hello-so-SSLv2-compati.patch”, in issue http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=3930.

This revision, http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=8048fe8f6f4b, however, does not solve the problem.
