Hi again,
I've changed the code to reuse the SSL contexts but in terms of memory
consumption/release it did not change much - if anything at all. By the
way, is there a way to unload a certificate once it has been loaded
into a SSL context via SSL_CTX_use_certificate() ? I didn't find
Hi Thomas,
I don't know if it makes a real difference concerning memory leaks,
but I would have freed the TLS session *BEFORE* freing the context :
SSL_free(ssl);
...
SSL_CTX_free(ssl-ctx);
Does your app setup and free a context each time a client is connecting ?

Hi again Thomas,
Do you really need to free your context each time you free your TLS
session ?
I believe it is not needed and at least not usual.
If you need several *DIFFERENT* contexts, implying different TLS
configurations/setup, wich, I think, is not so common,
you can keep them 'alive'
Hi Michel,
Thanks for trying to help, I really appreciate it :-)

The context is created only when a client requests a HTTPS connection
and is destroyed together with the SSL session once the connection goes
down. It is
