Is there an API to get the current value ?
Yes, CRYPTO_get_locking_callback/CRYPTO_get_id_callback.

I already know that this functions exists. But what if my module gets
inited before mod_ssl, which doesn't use the get-functions to determine
that something is already there? I was in the hope to see a clean
general purpose solution. :-)
After this long and informative discussion I really think there is need
for a ssl_thread_init_if_not_already_done inside Apache. (Besides the
correction/removal of OpenSSL's stupid global locking mechanism.)
Maybe there is some (small) re-design of the Apache code needed?
But as stated before in the discussion: I will also ask the
OpenSSL-mailinglist for this.
Thank you for all your comments,
Frank
P.S.: Someone suggested in a personal mail to use the real-thread-safe
http://www.geodyssey.com/cryptography/cryptography.html! (He saw that I
only want to encrypt something using Blowfish.) This is an option
indeed! But as a programmer I can't believe that I have to use a second
Blowfish-library in Apache while there is already one available! :-)
