Hello, sorry for answering so late.

For the first part, maybe you're right and then we should use Mike's patch.
I don't have a deep knowledge of mod_ssl but I don't totally agree with you
about the ACL hooks issue as for a particular request we keep using the same
context as the context id is the request structure address and quick
renegotiation has nothing to do with this. In addition to this
"modssl_set_verify" is called in "ssl_hook_Access" so even if a resumption
happens the verification will still be done, so what's the security issue if a
ChangeCipherSpec happens?
