        You cannot access the same SSL connection from more than one thread at a
time.

        Yes, if they're accessing it at the same time. I can't imagine how two
writes or two reads would be useful, so the only issue should be a read and
a write at the same time. While that could be useful, you must not do that.

        Yes, you can.
