I'm not an OpenSSL developer, but I think being able to set the Applink function pointer explicitly is an excellent idea! Just two days ago I was banging my head against this very problem. I have a C# app that calls into a C++ DLL that utilizes OpenSSL. Adding applink.c to the DLL project didn't get rid of the error like I hoped it would, and after analyzing the OpenSSL code I discovered to my dismay that it always looks in the EXE for the OPENSSL_Applink function. Since this app is a C# project, adding applink.c to it is pretty much impossible. I actually ended up solving it by removing all uses of BIO_new_fp() in favor of my own custom BIO that I just finished writing earlier this week. I hadn't thought of recompiling OpenSSL without OPENSSL_USE_APPLINK, but next time around I may do that. But if your idea gets implemented, then I won't have to. Phillip
