return after the handshake and successful completion. |
+=item SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS |
+ |
+When we no longer need a read buffer or a write buffer for a given SSL, |
+then release the memory we were using to hold it. Released memory is |
+either appended to a list of unused RAM chunks on the SSL_CTX, or simply |
+freed if the list of unused chunks would become longer than |
+SSL_CTX->freelist_max_len, which defaults to 32. Using this flag can |
+save around 34k per idle SSL connection. |
+This flag has no effect on SSL v2 connections, or on DTLS connections. |
