Hello,

@Maxim
Just to be perfectly clear: does that mean that session tickets are
supported for any version of nginx (including <v1.5.9), provided OpenSSL
0.9.8f is available?
So the directive would be kind of 'intercepting' TLS commands, a man in the
middle of client and OpenSSL?

@Arnaud
I guess the docs
<http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_session_timeout>
have all your answers.
