I actually have a client with php/mysql running on an NT box where we
use cURL to post into another site. To accomplish what we needed
required 2-3 posts within the same session. I instantiated the cURL
handle once, and used the same handle for multiple posts, capturing
return values each time.

I then tried the same trick on a Unix BSD server and it wouldn't work.
I didn't realize it wasn't supposed to work!

I think the NT was running php 4.1, and the BSD had PHP 4.2 or something
like that.

Subject: Re[2]: Persistent SSL sessions ?

Bonjour Daniel,

  A few months ago we had this exchange about "SSL Session ID cache"
  in cURL PHP module. Do you have some fresh news about this issue ?

  Kind regards,
  Alex.
