by nroos@webware-experts.de:

When reading from a TLS encrypted websocket connection with websocket.Read(), and the
connection gets closed, the Read() does not return an error (does not return at all).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Generate a key and certificate:
   openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -subj '/C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland/CN=websocket.com' -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout key -out cert

2. Compile the server and client, source code below

3. Run the server

4. Run the client; it opens a websocket connection to the server, after 2 seconds, the
connection gets closed

What is the expected output?

Client should say "Expecting EOF: EOF"

What do you see instead?

"Expecting EOF:"

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?

8g

Which operating system are you using?

Linux (Kubuntu)

Which revision are you using?  (hg identify)

--- Server ---

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "http"
    "websocket"
)

func server(ws *websocket.Conn) {
    fmt.Printf("new connection\n")
    buf := make([]byte, 100)
    for {
        if _, err := ws.Read(buf); err != nil {
            fmt.Printf("%s", err.String())
            break
        }
    }
    fmt.Printf(" => closing connection\n", )
    ws.Close()
}

func main() {
    http.Handle("/websocket", websocket.Handler(server))
    err := http.ListenAndServeTLS(":12345", "cert", "key", nil)
//  err := http.ListenAndServe(":12345", nil)
    if err != nil {
        panic("ListenAndServe: " + err.String())
    }
}

--- Client ---

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
    "websocket"
)

func main() {
    ws, err := websocket.Dial("wss://localhost:12345/websocket", "", "http://localhost/";)
//  ws, err := websocket.Dial("ws://localhost:12345/websocket", "",
"http://localhost/";)
    if err != nil {
        panic("Dial: " + err.String())
    }
    go readFromServer(ws)
    time.Sleep(2000000000)
    fmt.Printf("Expecting EOF: ")
    ws.Close()
    time.Sleep(60000000000)
}

func readFromServer(ws *websocket.Conn) {
    buf := make([]byte, 1000)
    for {
        if _, err := ws.Read(buf); err != nil {
            fmt.Printf("%s\n", err.String())
            break
        }
    }
}

Unencrypted connections work as intended; uncomment the lines in the server and client

Comment 1 by nroos@webware-experts.de:

Tried that on several Linux systems; finally installed a fresh, current Debian in a VM
and used a current Go version (downloaded with "hg clone -u release
https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ go"). The reported problem always occurs.
If anybody wants to have this VM, please contact me. Unfortunately, it's 500MB large.

Comment 2:

The websocket code is in the middle of being rewritten
to update it for recent protocol changes.  It is possible
that would fix this bug, or at least make it run from
one hiding place to another.
Russ

Status changed to Accepted.

Comment 3 by nroos@webware-experts.de:

With the new websocket package, the behaviour has become better and worse:
Encrypted websocket connections now deliver an EOF. That's fine.
Unencrypted connections now deliver a "read tcp 127.0.0.1:12345: connection reset by
peer" instead of EOF. In this way, the topic "missing EOF" is still valid...

Comment 4 by nroos@webware-experts.de:

I think this issue can be switched to "fixed", it was solved with the rewritten code.
With an almost current version, also the behaviour in my last comment does not seem to
happen any more.
