Hi, Check the return value of SSL_shutdown(ssl). Sometimes it needs up to 4 iterations to complete due to internal state machine. It completes when the value != 0. Hope it helps.

It's a multi-thread application and every client is managed by a different thread. However, ever since I implemented Openssl there seams to be a memory leak of around 10 kb. My openssl-code code is looking like following: SSL_set_bio(ssl,bio,bio); SSL_accept(ssl); SSL_shutdown(ssl); SSL_free(ssl); where bio and ssl is class objects where BIO is set like bio = BIO_new_socket(s,BIO_NOCLOSE) The increased memory does not occur before SSL_accept(ssl). The first time a client connect about a 100 kb is allocated, which I suppose is due to some initialising function. For each new client about 0-20 kb are still allocated after SSL_shutdown(ssl); SSL_free(ssl); is issued. Is there some cleanup functions im forgetting? I am using windows btw.
