Comment:

 Only two false positives for some servers have been caught in 7.31.0 so
 far:
 * #25716 (`lingering_close`)
 * #26010 (HTTP version mismatch, possibly related to how forced 1.0 is
 interpreted by OpenSSL)

 More false positives probably here:
 http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1249 (still down).

 Blacklisting this single version seems fine, but only if there are other
 options. If streams are not available, 7.31.0 (with SSL) will still
 probably work, which is better than failing altogether perhaps. This might
 be too complicated to check for in reality.

 But, yes, overall I agree that 7.31.0 should make the blacklist due to the
 false positives it errors out with
 (https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/8a7a277c086199b37c07a8e01165168037866f3e).
