x/net/http2: Expose isBadCipher #30407
Description
$ go 1.11.5
When manually specifying server ciphers, it is possible to specify a set of valid TLS 1.2 ciphers that are blacklisted in the HTTP/2 spec. This is a known potential issue; from the spec section 9.2.2:
The black list includes the cipher suite that TLS 1.2 makes mandatory, which means that TLS 1.2 deployments could have non-intersecting sets of permitted cipher suites. To avoid this problem causing TLS handshake failures, deployments of HTTP/2 that use TLS 1.2 MUST support TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 [TLS-ECDHE] with the P-256 elliptic curve [FIPS186].
Although this is in theory enough to prevent handshake failures, highly security conscious/paranoid users may not want to (or be allowed to) use RSA and want further control over exactly which ciphers are in use.
There is an isBadCipher function in the package that in theory could be used to check whether a user's submitted set of ciphers will cause blacklisting issues when using HTTP/2, however since it's not exported client code cannot use it to perform a simple check when evaluating a client's chosen cipher suites.
This is a simple request to expose that function. There is no obvious reason why the behavior of that function should ever change outside of a spec revamp, so it seems fairly safe to do so.
