Serialize/Deserialize SSL state

[Short, Todd]

Not without a lot of work. It’s not part of the current API.

We have tried doing an internal implementation; it was over 1K of new code, and it wasn’t complete.

The connection already had its handshake completed, app data flow had already occurred (i.e. it is not a new or early’ish context).  So, trying to see if it is possible to serialize the openssl state, shove it through a unix domain socket to the target process and then have the target process unpack the openssl state and resume IO.
