7.1.4 Client with resume capability example

This is a modification of the simple client example. Here we demonstrate the use of session resumption. The client tries to connect once using TLS, close the connection and then try to establish a new connection using the previously negotiated data.

/* This example code is placed in the public domain. */

/* A very basic TLS client, with X.509 authentication and server certificate
 * verification as well as session resumption.
 *
 * Note that error recovery is minimal for simplicity.
