hi, I've wrote here some days ago: http://marc.info/?l=apache-httpd-users&m=123979308812574&w=2
I've digged the issue: Note from CHANGES of openssl 0.9.8f: *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID context matching (which matters if an application uses a single external cache for different purposes). Previously, out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that, with applications using a single external cache for quite different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session in a different context. [Bodo Moeller] If I disable strict in openssl's source (ssl_sess.c) apache starting work again. Any comments? If the issue you can contact me by email and I can test your patch. --mpech
