    Description

      I have a C++ environment which uses thrift for server. Server is of type TThreadPoolServer with TBufferedTransportFactory as transport and  TBinaryProtocolFactory as protocol. Clients get connected to this server and this happens via TLS.  We are using thrift server with version 0.13.0 on the server end. 
       
      In one of the environments where a client using thrift (version 0.10.0), the client Hello is sent as part of initial TLS negotiation. We have observed that the server Hello is sent after around 25-30 seconds after the client Hello is received by the server. 
       
      In these cases where delay is observed on server end we are printing the client origin details, ie., the server ip of client and the port from which it is connecting to the server.
       
      functionXXX(const ::apache::thrift::TConnectionInfo& connInfo)

      {     std::string origin = connInfo.input->getInputTransport()->*getOrigin*();     printf("CONNECTED: %s\n", origin.c_str() );      .......}

      In cases where the ServerHello is delayed from thrift, we see the junk characters in prints from the above code as shown below:
       

      { Info = "CONNECTED:  ����:52089"}

       
       

      { Info = "CONNECTED: ����:52465"} { Info = "CONNECTED: ����:55027"}

       

      { Info = "CONNECTED: ����:59066"}

       
      In cases where the IP address of the client is shown as normal characters (as shown below) we dont see any delay in the serverHello sent from the thrift server and it just takes few milli seconds to send the serverHello back to client.
       
       { Info = "CONNECTED: 172.30.1.41:46573"}
       
      Looking at the change history we see the following change done in thrift 0.13.0:
