  1. What did I do?

    // mixed up order of key and cert:
    http.ListenAndServeTLS(..., key, cert, ...)

  2. What happened?

    This resulted in the following cryptic error message:

    crypto/tls: failed to parse certificate PEM data

  3. What did I expect?

    I spent about an hour debugging various PEM format possibilities before finding the mixup.

    An error message explaining that the type of PEM block was unexpected would have saved me some time:

    crypto/tls: failed to parse certificate PEM data, expected type "CERTIFICATE", got "PRIVATE KEY"

It's more that the CERTIFICATE block wasn't found. Assigning to @agl

crypto/tls: better error messages when PEM inputs are switched.
324b8ce 
This change causes the types of skipped PEM blocks to be recorded when
no certificate or private-key data is found in a PEM input. This allows
for better error messages to be return in the case of common errors like
switching the certifiate and key inputs to X509KeyPair.

Fixes golang#11092
