I can't find anything in the documentation to suggest that you cannot share a SSL object between threads. The important thing is to implement the locking callbacks [CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() etc.]. [Urjit]: Correct. One should implement the locking callbacks. What I am confused about is the statement in openssl faq (http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#PROG1) that reads: --- 1. Is OpenSSL thread-safe? Yes (with limitations: an SSL connection may not concurrently be used by multiple threads) --- ~ Urjit DISCLAIMER ========== This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information which is the property of Persistent Systems Pvt.
