You can actually test this with ʼopenssl s_serverʼ

The following patch works for me, but only with TLS1.2. For some
reason GnuTLS and OpenSSL donʼt want to enable secure renegotiation
when talking TLS1.3 to each other. Also, youʼre supposed to loop checking
for GNUTLS_E_AGAIN when calling gnutls_record_recv, but if I do that
Emacs ends up spinning at 100% CPU sometimes.

If you want to force TLS1.2, youʼll have to set
gnutls-algorithm-priority to something like
"NORMAL:%DUMBFW:!VERS-ALL:+VERS-TLS1.2"

TL;DR Probably not ready for primetime

You can run the server like so:

    cd emacs/test/lisp/net/network-stream-resources
    openssl s_server -port 6666 -cert cert.pem -key key.pem -tls1_2

For the client, something like this:

(defun rtest ()
  (require 'gnutls)
  (require 'network-stream)
  (let ((proc (open-gnutls-stream "rtest" "rtest" "localhost" 6666)))
    (process-send-string proc "Host:\n")
    (switch-to-buffer "rtest")))

then in the terminal where the openssl server is running, you can use
the 'r' key to request renegotiation (or just type random stuff to
have it be echoed back to Emacs).
