In #23378 (comment) we noted that there is a mismatch between the default TCP keepalive used by net.Listen (3m, previously in http.ListenAndServe(TLS)) and the one used by net.Dial (15s).

For uniformity, it would be advisable to ensure these two defaults match.

If there are no counter-proposals, my suggestion would be to use 15s as the interval (see #23459 for prior discussion).

An explicit non-goal of this issue is that of making the default value part of the API. For the reasons discussed in https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/107196 this should remain undefined, and users that have specific requirements in terms of exact keepalive durations should specify a custom configuration.

Does http.ListenAndServe still actually set a TCP Keep-Alive? When I looked yesterday, I couldn't find it anymore, and assumed it was now relying on the new net.Listen default.

Yeah, this is not in net/http as of 1abf3aa.

The Accept() default is 3 minutes though, not 15s.

Yeah, but the net.Listen default is 3m because 1abf3aa lifted the default out of ListenAndServe and into net.Listen. This is orthogonal though to the point that these two defaults (in net.Listen and net.Dial) should be the same for consistency.

Changed the title accordingly. release-blocker because the net.Listen keep-alive is new, so we should decide if we are changing it before shipping it, ideally.

Are there specific concerns against the approach outlined above?

If there are no counter-proposals, my suggestion would be to use 15s as the interval (see #23459 for prior discussion).

If there are none, I'll go ahead and send a CL.

I can't see why these should be different. Go ahead and send a CL.
