I wonder how hard it would be to automatically identify server
software that doesn't implement this properly. Probably some server
software could be differentiated based on their error code
descriptions or how they deal with some corner cases.

Yes, fingerprinting servers is certainly possible. Someone to takethis project?

Note that some servers send the TLS proper close for "normal" repliesbut fail to do so when there is an error, such as 51. It helps withfingerprinting, though.
