…en earlier The aLongTimeAgo time value in net and net/http is used to cancel in-flight read and writes. It was set to time.Unix(233431200, 0) which seemed like far enough in the past. But Raspberry Pis, lacking a real time clock, had to spoil the fun and boot in 1970 at the Unix epoch time, breaking assumptions in net and net/http. So change aLongTimeAgo to time.Unix(1, 0), which seems like the earliest safe value. I don't trust subsecond values on all operating systems, and I don't trust the Unix zero time. The Raspberry Pis do advance their clock at least. And the reported problem was that Hijack on a ResponseWriter hung forever, waiting for the connection read operation to finish. So now, even if kernel + userspace boots in under a second (unlikely), the Hijack will just have to wait for up to a second.
