Not replicating here...

>>> import httpx
>>> r = httpx.get('https://httpbin.org/get')
>>> print(r)
<Response [200 OK]>

But... you'd be seeing that exception because the server's disconnected during the SSL handshake.

Useful prompts to us...

• Can we present a clearer exception here?
• Are we able to setup a reliable reproduction of this case?
• What exception chain would requests show to a user here?

Throw this error is I switch clash for windows(proxy tool) on.But I use requests had no problem.Can you let httpx can use when proxy tool opened.

I am using clash too, you can use no_proxy to by pass your test domains.

@tomchristie, problem still exists.
Tested on py3.10.11 and py3.10.13, same error:

Could you be more descriptive?...

• Which URL are you accessing.
• Are you seeing the connection error occasionally or consistently.

It's looks like a valid connection error which is occuring due to the connection being closed during the SSL handshake. Perhaps there's better error messaging that we could be providing here, but it'd help if we've a replicable example against a public URL.
