I would like to report an issue with curl 7.54.0 using the "--tls1.2" flag in macOS Sierra.

I use a cURL command of the following form to connect to a server that uses client TLS and requires a minimum version of TLS 1.2:

curl --tlsv1.2 -s -S \
     --cert-type pkcs12 \
     --cert "client.p12:changeit" \
     --cacert "ca.cer" \
     -iv -XGET https://localhost:13000/info/v1/version

This worked fine through macOS Sierra 10.12.5, which shipped with curl 7.51.0. However, macOS Sierra 10.12.6 updated its curl version to 7.54.0, and this same command no longer works.

I compiled 7.53.0 locally and confirmed that this command works and compiled 7.54.0 locally and verified that the command does not work. Interestingly, if I remove the '--tlsv1.2' flag entirely, the command works in 7.54.0 as well. The error reporting in the default version is not very helpful (it reports 'curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to localhost:-9836'), but in the version I compiled locally the error message is 'curl: (35) unsupported max version passed via CURLOPT_SSLVERSION'. Based on this, this appears to be a bug in the way the version parameters are set by the '--tlsv1.2'
flag.

I've attached the output of 'curl --version' and the result of running the commands below:
