Hi Trevor,

are you talking about session resumption as defined in the base TLS RFC
or about session resumption without server-side state (RFC 5077)        ? Since
you talk about tickets in your mail below I believe you are talking
about the latter.

Note that the ticket is an implementation choice of the server operator
and the RFC only gives an example.

Ciao
