It looks like the docs for the NSS key_log_format have moved permanently, in early 2022: mdn/content#12731

The link from crypto/tls.Config.KeyLogWriter points to a page that doesn't redirect to a new permanent home, and instead shows a "404 Not Found" message.

https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/security/nss/index.html mentions mozilla_projects_nss_key_log_format in a section with the warning "References below this point are part of the deprecated documentation and will be ported in the future.", but does not include a link to the new home.

I'm not sure where the current home for that documentation is. It looks like the link in Go's documentation has been broken for a while, and that the owner of those external docs may not intend to repair it. Go's docs should point to a reputable source for the format specification.

What did you do?

Read docs for crypto/tls.Config.KeyLogWriter, tried to visit the reference at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Key_Log_Format .

$ go1.21 doc crypto/tls.Config.KeyLogWriter
package tls // import "crypto/tls"

type Config struct {
    // KeyLogWriter optionally specifies a destination for TLS master
    // secrets in NSS key log format that can be used to allow external
    // programs such as Wireshark to decrypt TLS connections. See
    // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Key_Log_Format.
    // Use of KeyLogWriter compromises security and should only be used for debugging.
    KeyLogWriter io.Writer

    // ... other fields elided ...
}

And for what it's worth, https://docs.rs/rustls/latest/rustls/trait.KeyLog.html#required-methods which includes an identical link.

What did you expect to see?

Documentation for the resulting key log entry format.

What did you see instead?

A redirect to https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/security/nss/legacy/key_log_format/index.html, resulting in:
