What about:

(Server that supports TLS):

C: opens TCP connection to server
C: STARTTLS
S: 3Resource not found\terror.host\t0\r\n

S: closes connection

client repeat request without attempting TLS

(Server that does not support TLS):

C: opens TCP connection to server
C: STARTTLS
S: starts TLS handshake
C: starts TLS handshake

C<->S: TLS session initiated

C: sends selector request

S: serves up resource
