I ran into something similar a while ago, and even if "fixing" https/imaps
works with mss clamping, it will still cause
issues with fragmented UDP and large icmp, since those will not care about
mss, only TCP does.

The problem is still there, its just a tcp-only workaround to lower mss
in-flight for a problem that is mostly visible
when doing *s services since they ship long lists of preferred algorithms
which causes large packets to be sent,
whereas simple ldap lookups or ntp/dns/http get by with less info sent and
hence send smaller packets.

Still, large non-tcp ip will see unexpected drops in such scenarios where
you only lower mss and not the MTU
on some in-between L3 interface so it correctly fragments when needed.
