I havn't read your patch (sorry, not enough time) but I have a
comment. I guess you are using the temp file to provide mod_ssl
with the ability to read it from that file as usual.
OpenSSL provides you with a much better solution. There is
a general I/O interface (called BIO) that can read from memory
instead of a file with the same functions. I'm not sure how
much it would cost you to dig a bit more into it and what Ralf
thinks about whether your patch is likely to find it's way into
the general disrtibution.
Mail me directly if you have questions regarding my proposal.
