I don't know what O'Reilly says but that would certainly solve your problem subsequent sessions could be resumed instead of starting a new one each time. You have to be careful to keep the session data secure since that would allow any other application to impersonate that user. However even a full handshake shouldn't take 7 seconds unless the server is heavily loaded. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
