as per my understanding, if I set Handshake_buffer with all
SSL3_RT_HANDSHAKE, it should work, right?
I had gone through RFC's regarding this,  there is no clear statement
regarding what is included.
I assume everything from CLIENT HELLO to FINISHED.

I had verified implementation in Wireshark, they generate Extended master
secret by hashing all handshakes.
