Detailed Description

SSL_get_default_timeout() returns the default timeout value assigned to SSL_SESSION objects negotiated for the protocol valid for ssl.

Notes

Whenever a new session is negotiated, it is assigned a timeout value, after which it will not be accepted for session reuse. If the timeout value was not explicitly set using SSL_CTX_set_timeout(), the hard coded default timeout for the protocol will be used.

SSL_get_default_timeout() return this hard coded value, which is 300 seconds for all currently supported protocols (SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLSv1).
