Do you have session cache enabled? I have had the same suspicion in the past. Following links may be usefull. http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_session_cache_mode.html http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_timeout.html#

We ran a test having a client application do nothing but connect to the server application and close the connection. After about 2,000 connections the server grows by about 50 MB and then it crashes. I've been doing some research into this and so far the main cause seems to be that we were not calling SSL_free after each connection closed. From what I have gathered, the correct way to cleanup after a connection is to call the following functions in this order: SSL_shutdown(ssl); SSL_free(ssl); close(socket); My main reason for writing this e-mail is that I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything as far as cleaning up after each connection. Are there any other functions I should be calling to prevent memory leaks? I would be grateful to hear from anyone who is experienced in this area. Thank you in advance.
