Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure on MacOS Sierra with stock Perl, then inspect t/live-https.t and compare its behavior with the passing t/http.t test. Done means the live HTTPS test no longer exits with the reported TLS protocol error, or the compatibility limitation is clearly established.

# Looks like your test exited with 255 before it could output anything.
t/live-https.t ......... 
Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
