Hi @maxl99. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

If this is a bug, could you please also add some tests to prevent future regression?

I tried to implement an e2e test that sends a ClientHello with 2 packets (similar to the behaviour we see in the packet capture).
Sadly it seems to be a bit tricky because the test is also successful without the patch :(
I'm using net.Dial and Write. I also tried casting it to an net.TCPConn and setting things like SetWriteBuffer(0) and SetNoDelay(true).

ssl-passthrough is targeted for deprecation.

I understand this is disruptive. But there is demand for real-client-ip and now this fragmented client-helo. Its also very clear that 2 PRs are in queue for addressing this.

But please consider that the requirement now is 2 folds. On one hand a developer of the project needs to evaluate not just the PRs here but also the impact of those changes on the design, security & stability of the controller.. Secondly the continued support/maintenance to sustain the TLS-Passthrough feature in its current go-proxy avatar, requires resources.

The project hit CVEs and and other sustaining related problems and faced acute shortage of resources for a extended length of time. So to avoid future impact to the security/stability of the controller, a decision was made to focus on the core functionality of the project. We are even deprecating several functioning useful popular features. Implementing the Gateway-API is the other focus besides shipping a secure-by-default controller.

Hence wait for other comments, but I would say not to expect much traction on this as the TLS-Passthrough feature itself may be deprecated sooner than later. I understand its the least desired scene but its the reality of changing times.

Users do obviously have the option to fork the project and implement desired changes there. regards.

We need to read the entire length of the ClientHello packet in order
to get the SNI field for proper tls passthrough.
