If you are talking abt reusing SSL structures, you can do
SSL_clear(sslp) and SSL_set_session(sslp, NULL) to try and reuse the old
session. This way, you need not free(). It worked for me. Same holds for
SSL_accept. The only caveat is that you need to use the same method (SSLv23,
SSLv3 etc.) as before.
