<CODE>SSL_get_default_timeout()</CODE> returns the default timeout value
assigned to SSL_SESSION objects negotiated for the protocol valid for <STRONG>ssl</STRONG>.

<P>
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
<A HREF="../ssl/SSL_CTX_set_timeout.html#">SSL_CTX_set_timeout(3)</A>, the hardcoded default timeout for the protocol will be used.

</P>
<P>
<CODE>SSL_get_default_timeout()</CODE> return this hardcoded value, which
is 300 seconds for all currently supported protocols (SSLv2, SSLv3, and
TLSv1).
