Comparison of SSL Labs TLS scores with different Go versions

TL;DR

Introduction

Somehow, this made it into Golang Weekly.
This was a surprise to me -- only found out when I received my weekly e-mail.
It's in issue #95, here

The results follow. The versions of Go used were:

• 1.4.3
• 1.5.3
• 1.6rc1

The code

package main

import (
	"log"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/", index)
	log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServeTLS(":443", "cert.pem", "key.pem", nil))
}

func index(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	w.Write([]byte("Hello, and welcome!"))
}

Go 1.4.3

Go 1.5.3

Go 1.6rc1
