You must use a client that supports TLS 1.1.  The test server will  
negotiate TLS 1.1 if your client supports it.  If you used a browser  
to access that page, chances are that your browser doesn't implement  
TLS 1.1.  Try gnutls-cli from GnuTLS itself.

Oops!  I'll fix the README tomorrow, it is probably better if it  
doesn't say anything about version numbers at all.

The test server and gnutls2.3.0 supports TLSv1.1, so I don't think  
getting a pcap will be difficult for you.  But if you can't get it to  
work, I'll see if I can produce a pcap file for you.
