the OpenSSL API is the gift that just keeps on giving

And its like one of those gifts you get from an older relative that you rather wished they'd keep to themselves...

curl has used OpenSSL since it was born in 1999 - and to this very day, we apparently still can't figure out how to init and cleanup the library properly.

It might be because we have only stupid people in the project. Or the explanation could be elsewhere.

@bagder we sold a library that relied on OpenSSL. We had to be very explicit that we didn’t have a memory leak. We just couldn’t get libraries like OpenSSL to behave.
