[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
#### Context
The symptom of this issue first came up in the context of `ghub`, a package
that offers interfacing with Github from emacs (issue:
https://github.com/magit/ghub/issues/81).
Multiple users of the `ghub` package started observing that
synchronously retrieving content from the github API through ghub
returned blank responses.
I investigated and narrowed down a minimal repro case of the problem,
which I believe indicate that the problem is in Emacs itself.
#### Steps to reproduce
1) Run emacs -Q
2) Evaluate the following elisp snippet
```
(switch-to-buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously "
https://api.github.com/users/charignon/repos")
(buffer-string))
```
I expect then to see a buffer with an http response, instead I get a
blank buffer.
#### Investigation / Observation
1) This behavior reproduces consistently with api.github.com, not with
any websites that I tried.
2) `url-retrieve`, the asynchronous way to fetch url, does not seem to be
subject to the issue, and works as expected, for
example:
```
(url-retrieve "https://api.github.com/users/charignon/repos" (lambda (x
&rest v) x))
```
works
3) Once a connection is established (for example by `url-retrieve`) and
can be reused, then `url-retrieve-synchronously` works. That is, the
snippet above returns a buffer with an HTTP response from github. Removing
the connection (emacs process managing it) is necessary after you ran
`url-retrieve` if you want to reproduce the bug.
4) I used wireshark to look at the network traffic:
Here is the trace for the `url-retrieve-synchronously` call to github
(from steps to reproduce):

vulture.lan is my computer.
testwifi.here is my DNS.
starting at packet 33 we talk to a second github server, not like the one
we talk to in packet 13.
I configured wireshark to inspect encrypted traffic to see the HTTP
request in there.
What you can notice is that in the synchronous (failing) case, packet 28
is resetting (unexpectedly as far as I can tell) the TCP connection, and
we attempt a retry, which does not work.
And here is the trace for the `url-retrieve` case, where everything goes
well:

5) I noticed that adding `(sit-for 0.5)` in various places throughout the
codepath would consistently make the bug go away. For example in
`open-network-stream` after opening the stream, or at the beginning of
`url-http-create-request`.
6) I couldn't find information online indicating that github changed
anything in their network request handling that broke other tools.

I built the latest master I could find in git
(5259fdf96073febd18e83785960c443bdf02a31) and the bug seems fixed there!
From bisecting, I know that the fix is in between 191a5568db (working) and
2a3bd6798e96708 (not working). It is hard to pinpoint further due to
segfaults that were introduced then fixed in this range. My best guess is
that "Fix unlikely races with GnuTLS, datagrams" (e87e6a24c4) resolved this.

I've also hit this bug, here's a couple of observations:
(1) Looks like the version of gnutls affects the behavior of
url-retrieve-synchronously.
My conclusion is that the bug manifests with gnutls >= 3.6. I confirmed
this on Arch with
emacs 26.1 and on Ubuntu bionic/cosmic with emacs 25.2
(2) Weird workaround, which works for me: add (setq gnutls-log-level 1) to
the end of init.el

I can confirm that cherrypicking this commit fixes the problem on my
Arch box which has gnutls 3.6.7 (doesn't occur at all on my Debian box
with gnutls 3.5.8).
Since the only recourse for users hitting is rebuilding --without-gnutls
or (advice-add 'gnutls-available-p :override #'ignore) which falls back
to the obsolete tls.el, I'd say this is important enough to backport to
emacs-26. I'll do that in a couple of days if there are no objections.

Are you sure thatʼs the only recourse? When I hit this issue, turning
off TLS1.3 support helped as well. (see
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2019-02/msg00393.html>
and
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2019-02/msg00196.html>)
Something like:
(setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3")
would be one way to turn off TLS1.3

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this, I'll check if that helps later today. I
think it makes sense to backport regardless though.

It's a complex change, and we don't even know whether emacs-26 will be
used for another "regular" release. What if we need it for some
emergency release, for example? Having to remember there was this
cherry-pick, and branching from before it, reverting it, is not my
idea of fun.

I can confirm that
(setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3")
avoids the problem on my Arch box (has gnutls v3.6.7).

I found this smaller change fixes it also. Is it simple enough to for
emacs-26? Otherwise, we should set gnutls-algorithm-priority because
(as far as I understand) we have a broken TLS1.3 implementation at the
momement.

If we do decide to disable TLS1.3, which Iʼm not really in favour of,
changing the defaults in lisp/net/gnutls.el:gnutls-boot-parameters
might be better than setting gnutls-algorithm-priority. Iʼd prefer
your gnutls.c patch, although I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

That patch to src/gnutls.c fixes my testcase, which is imap over
TLS1.3 to gmail. Itʼs pretty simple, I think it could go to
emacs-26. Eli?

Okay, good, it's not just me then. :)
I think this patch is going to get more important over time, as more
people upgrade gnutls versions, and more servers start supporting
TLS1.3.
Pushed to emacs-26.
