💖 SSL_SESSION_REUSED(3SSL) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SSL_session_reused page from the OpenSSL manual (3SSL section, we love a library function moment) ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SSL_session_reused — ask whether a reused session got negotiated during the handshake 👀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <openssl/ssl.h>

int SSL_session_reused(const SSL *ssl);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically, you're querying whether a reused session was negotiated during the handshake. That's it. That's the whole vibe check. 💅

✨ NOTES ✨

Here's the tea, bestie 🍵

During the negotiation, a client can propose to reuse a session. The server then goes and looks that session up in its cache. If both the client and the server agree on the session, it gets reused — and a flag gets set that your application can query. No cap. That flag is what SSL_session_reused is peeking at. 🫶

🔥 RETURN VALUES 🔥

so here are the possible glow-ups this function can return:

  • 0 — a new session was negotiated. fresh start, main character era 🌈
  • 1 — a session was reused. we're running it back, iconic behavior 👑
