Shutting down openssl - is the correct thing to do nothing?

[Graham Leggett]

Hi all,

I am currently reviewing the shutdown behaviour in both httpd’s mod_ssl and 
apr’s apr-crypto-openssl modules.

Am I right in understanding that from openssl v1.1.0 and upwards, all the 
following calls are no longer necessary, will be called automatically atexit by 
the openssl library, and these can be removed from the code?

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/tags/2.4.39/modules/ssl/mod_ssl.c?view=markup#l329

    FIPS_mode_set(0);
    OBJ_cleanup();
    CONF_modules_free();
    EVP_cleanup();
    ENGINE_cleanup();
    SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods();
    ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL);
    ERR_remove_state(0);
    ERR_free_strings();
    CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data();

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/apr/apr-util/tags/1.6.1/crypto/apr_crypto_openssl.c?view=markup#l114

    ERR_free_strings();
    EVP_cleanup();
    ENGINE_cleanup();

Regards,
Graham
