- The "-no_ticket" option was introduced in Openssl0.9.8j. It's a flag to

  disable "rfc4507bis session ticket support".  rfc4507bis was later turned
  into the proper RFC5077 it seems: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077

  The enabled extension concerns the session management. I wonder how often
  libcurl stops a connection and then resumes a TLS session. also, sending the
  session data is some overhead. .I suggest that you just use your proposed
  patch (which explicitly disables TICKET).

  If someone writes an application with libcurl and openssl who wants to
  enable the feature, one can do this in the SSL callback.

  Sharad Gupta brought this to my attention. Peter Sylvester helped me decide
  on the proper action.
