      # Description
      
      Tcl application hangs during connection establishment to
      server not answering on TLS connection properly.
      
      tcltls has been compiled using TCl/Tk 8.6.17 and openssl 3.5.5 (linux and macos)
      
      Problem with tcltls-20260122101940-ba2ee7744c (also present in previous releases):
      
      
      # How to reproduce:
      
      start a server with:
      
      ```
      ncat -l -p 8143 -w 2
      ```
      
      In a second shell, start tclsh or width and run the following
      commands:
      
      ```
      package require http; package require tls;
      set tok [http::geturl https://localhost:8143/info -timeout 3000]
      ```
      
      Application hangs indefinitly until one types 5 characters and return
      in the ncat window. When compiled with debug output enabled one can
      see that tcltls hangs in (snippet of output):

      ```
      
      # Rational
      
      The process should not hang when the server does not send a
      proper response to the TLS connection request, especially when a
      timeout has been specified for the https request.

   1. icomment:

      Not sure what you are testing here, but it appears to be missing info. Your ncat command didn't include the --ssl option. So it's just a regular connection. Also you didn't change the channel config, so its a blocking socket and buffering is line mode. So, it won't do anything until you input a EOL.
      
      If your goal is to test sending chat data, look at the demos/echat.tcl application. Start one with the -server option then one or more with the -client option. The server will then echo whatever text it receives from a client to all clients.
