Hi Sean,
What you are doing should work fine.
Couple of caveats
- to work well with OpenSSL in
a multithreaded mode, you need to set up mutexes
for OpenSSL to work.
- Most of my experience is with SSLeay 0.9.0b, so I don't
know if anything major has changed since then, with respect
to threading.
Regards,
Ambarish
