I did this

I have tested SSL/TLS session reuse with TLS 1.3 and "openssl s_server".

With TLS 1.3, curl creates two SSL sessions:

./curl -k -v https://localhost:4433/ https://localhost:4433/

Output:

New, TLSv1.3, Cipher is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
...
New, TLSv1.3, Cipher is TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

With TLS 1.2, curl reuses the SSL session (as expected):

./curl -k -v --tls-max 1.2 https://localhost:4433/ https://localhost:4433/

Output:

New, TLSv1.2, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
...
Reused, TLSv1.2, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384

I expected the following

Hints

OpenSSL Wiki: TLS 1.3 - Sessions

curl should use the SSL_CTX_sess_set_new_cb function to set a "new session" callback.

Probably other SSL backends are also affected.

The problem I think is that curl disables session ticket resumption, and only performs session ID resumption, which is not available in TLS 1.3 anymore. Support for session ticket resumption is also a requirement for TLS 1.3 0-RTT support.

openssl: support session resume with TLS 1.3
51ac485 
Session resumption information is not available immediately after a TLS 1.3
handshake. The client must wait until the server has sent a session ticket.

Use OpenSSL's "new session" callback to get the session information and put it
into curl's session cache. For TLS 1.3 sessions, this callback will be invoked
after the server has sent a session ticket.

The "new session" callback is invoked only if OpenSSL's session cache is
enabled, so enable it and use the "external storage" mode which lets curl manage
the contents of the session cache.

A pointer to the connection data and the sockindex are now saved as "SSL extra
data" to make them available to the callback.

This approach also works for old SSL/TLS versions and old OpenSSL versions.

Fixes curl#3202

TLS 1.3 uses a new session resume mechanism, it's similar to the (old) session tickets, but it's not the same.
