Hi, Madhu, Writes to net.Pipe connections are synchronous - i.e. call to Write returns only after the corresponding call to Read on the other end of pipe is made. TLS implementation in Go may deadlock on net.Pipe connection, since both server and client may call Write on both ends of pipe while nobody calls Read.
Possible workarounds: 1) Wrap read sides of the net.Pipe into an 'eager' io.Reader implementation, which will instantly read all the incoming data into internal buffer until external caller will consume buffered data. 2) Use another net.Pipe-like solution, which already solves the problem. See, for instance, https://godoc.org/github.com/valyala/fasthttp/fasthttputil#PipeConns .
