Hi Greg, Lutz,
As Lutz proposed, I tried to use SSL_set_session().
Here is how my code looks like, as it still doesn't work :
(---DECLARATION-------)
struct {
.....
SSL* ssl;
....} sessions[] ;
SSL_CTX* ctx;
SSL_SESSION* sslsession;
SSL *ssl; /* Struct SSL */
(---INIT-------)
SSL_load_error_strings();
OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms();
ctx = SSL_CTX_new (SSLv23_client_method());
Main loop begins here
{
(---CONNECTION-------)
numconn++ ;
sessions[numconn].ssl = SSL_new (ctx);
if (! firsttime)
{
err=SSL_set_session(sessions[numconn].ssl,sslsession);
}
SSL_set_fd(sessions[numconn].ssl, sockdes);
err = SSL_connect(sessions[numconn].ssl);
if (firsttime)
{
sslsession=SSL_get0_session(sessions[numconn].ssl);
}
(---DATA EXCHANGE-------)
............
} Main loop ends here
On the second SSL_connect(), it stops with an error :
1867:error:140920C5:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_HELLO:old session
cipher not returned:s3_clnt.c:636:
