Best practice is if a curl option requires a long you should pass
exactly that, eg 0L or (long)0. That has to do with the way
curl_easy_setopt retrieves arguments (va_arg style; think printf). Some
like Linux gcc may have protections built in for that I believe (if x64
they extend 32-bit ints to 64-bit) but I don't know how widespread that
behavior is. Before you do anything else I'd correct all CURLOPTs so
you're passing the right types and test again.
So is the problem that Apple maintains a per process TLS session cache
and it is resuming the session? I read your ref and that's what it seems
to imply. I don't know if you can disable that in libcurl. As you've
already discovered there's a curl option --no-sessionid
(CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE) which can be used to disable libcurl's
session cache for some SSL backends, however maybe Apple has a separate
layer? Also looking at the way we disable it maybe it's done wrong?
In libcurl's darwinssl.c [1] it shows that if no session ID is found it
creates one by calling SSLSetPeerID
. Maybe we should not be doing that (or be doing it differently) if
conn->ssl_config.sessionid is false? I don't use SecureTransport and I
don't have a development environment for it, hopefully someone else can
step in here.
