    Just for my curiosity what is a "pregenerated SSL session" ?
    What's the use case for this?


SSL sessions, as negotiated between the client and server, can be serialized and saved to disk or database or whatever.  Then when a new connection comes in, they can be de-serialized and the old session can be resumed, skipping the multiple round trip SSL handshake and the expensive RSA key operations.

At the expense of security, as man-in-the-middle things usually are...
(just an observation, everyone's security policy is different)
