    Description

      APIcast supports client->apicast connections using TLS v1.3 but when connecting to an upstream that requires a TLSv1.3 minimum it fails with the following error message:

      2023/02/01 15:41:58 [error] 22#22: *5 SSL_do_handshake() failed (SSL: error:1409442E:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert protocol version:SSL alert number 70) while SSL handshaking to upstream, client: 10.217.0.1, server: _, request: "GET /?user_key=<redacted> HTTP/1.1", upstream: "https://10.0.0.102:5000/?user_key=<redacted>", host: "<redacted>:5000"[01/Feb/2023:15:41:58 +0000] api-3scale-apicast-staging.<redacted>:8080 10.217.0.1:43558 "GET /?user_key=<redacted> HTTP/1.1" 502 154 (13.784) 0 

      It's important to note that the proxy_ssl_protocols directive can be configured via config map as described in the workaround, but this directive is not applied when using a forward proxy (e.g. APICAST_HTTPS_PROXY). There will need to be some investigation into the forward proxy code path to determine how to support vTLS 1.3 there.
