Description szander 2018-08-16 23:36:51 UTC
When I use TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 the first request that is send to the server is completely garbage (looks like some random bits from memory rather than a HTTP request). Subsequent requests to the same server work fine. I'm not sure what precisely the issue is but I noted that core_ssl_connect() is written such that httperf can interleave other stuff while connecting. With a more "atomic" connect loop the problem is gone on my test machine: 

        while ((ssl_err = SSL_connect(s->ssl)) == -1) {
                int reason = SSL_get_error(s->ssl, ssl_err);

                if (reason != SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ &&
                    reason != SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE) {
                        fprintf(stderr,
                            "%s: failed to connect to SSL server (err=%d, reason=%d)\n",
                            prog_name, ssl_err, reason);
                        ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
                        exit(-1);
                }
        }

A commit references this bug:

Author: danfe
Date: Sat Dec  7 11:39:36 UTC 2019
New revision: 519200
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/519200

Log:
  - Update to the latest GitHub commit: current version is from 2015
    and is not compatible with modern OpenSSL implementations
  - Set PORTVERSION to the version number as reported by `httperf -V'
  - Increase buffer size in do_recv() to match TLS record size which
    can be up to 16kB [1]
  - When using TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2, the first SSL_connect() may often
    return error, while subsequent requests work fine -- to mitigate
    this, try to SSL_connect() a little harder [2]

Should be fixed per ports r519200, thanks!
