Options No TLSv1 and No TLSv1.1 set but curl still shows curl .. -tls1 connects
The virtual server in questions tests appropriately (only TLS v1.2) via testssl.sh and the ssllabs.com tool. So why does curl -tls1 show connected? openssl s_client -connect abc.def.com:443 -tl...

-connect option first makes TCP connection on port 443 (default) if host port is not defined. Before every TLS handhsake, TCP connection is made. So you would see CONNECTED as 443 TCP connection is open.
you can use -msg in the command and you will see immediately after CLIENT_HELLO the connection is getting reset, failing TLS handshake which proves TLS1 is disabled.
eg.
openssl s_client -connect www.example.com:443 -tls1 -msg
CONNECTED(00000004)

Try same command with tls1_2 option and you will successful TLS hanshake taking place along with certficate details.
