A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Currently it is not possible to speed up SSL handshake negotiations using the TLS session ticket extension.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077

There is no way of controlling the handshake to implement this manually or requesting session tickets be used as a client or server.

JUSTIFICATION :
Huge speed improvements and reduced CPU usage.

https://blog.cloudflare.com/tls-session-resumption-full-speed-and-secure/

Any application that handles multiple connections will see a large performance improvement as the most expensive part of the handshake is skipped.



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Allow SSLSocket objects to have the ability to implement session tickets or allow access to add TLS extensions to the handshake.
ACTUAL -
Its impossible to implement session tickets with the current library.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Opening sockets with OpenSSL instead of using the java ssl library.
