And as clever as I find this helper-wrapping-a-helper solution, I wonder if the right layer for a fix isn't inside curl. It already keeps an ssl session-id cache in memory; how hard would it be to turn that into an on-disk cache? I don't think that is grounds for rejecting this patch; obviously it is working for you guys, and it is available right now, and it is only going into contrib/ anyway. But a curl solution seems like a cleaner long-term fix, and would benefit all curl users. It is even mentioned in curl's doc/TODO file. :) -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
