You can share SSL connections amongst threads. You just cant have two
threads access the same SSL connection at the same time. With a normal TCP
connection, you can call read and write at the same time from two
different threads. With an SSL connection, you cannot. Otherwise, SSL
connections are thread safe in the sense that you dont have to always
access them from the same thread.
