@ -25,6 +25,25 @@ if L<SSL_shutdown(3)|SSL_shutdown(3)> was not called for the connection
or at least L<SSL_set_shutdown(3)|SSL_set_shutdown(3)> was used to
set the SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN state.
If a session was closed cleanly, the session object will be kept and all
settings corresponding. This explicitly means, that e.g. the special method
used during the session will be kept for the next handshake. So if the
session was a TLSv1 session, a SSL client object will use a TLSv1 client
method for the next handshake and a SSL server object will use a TLSv1
server method, even if SSLv23_*_methods were chosen on startup. This
will might lead to connection failures (see L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)>)
for a description of the method's properties.
=head1 WARNINGS
SSL_clear() resets the SSL object to allow for another connection. The
reset operation however keeps several settings of the last sessions
(some of these settings were made automatically during the last
handshake). It only makes sense when opening a new session (or reusing
an old one) with the same peer that shares these settings.
SSL_clear() is not a short form for the sequence
L<SSL_free(3)|SSL_free(3)>; L<SSL_new(3)|SSL_new(3)>; .
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The following return values can occur:
