hello,

i'm using curl-7.16.2 and openssl-0.9.8e to perform HTTP requests in my
application.

i am trying to set up a curl connection that will post data over an SSL
connection, with custom headers. im slightly confused. according to my
debugger i'm leaking memory on every connection. i'm not really sure if
it is the way my code is written or internal to curl or internal to
openssl. i am on a windows xp environment.

i do call curl_global_init once in the application. and i do call
curl_global_cleanup once in the application.

i've condensed my code by removing the return code tests. i would very
much appreciate if someone knew if i was doing something wrong with the
way i call curl told me what exactly im missing. ive been over the
documentation a dozen times.

CURL *conn = NULL;
conn = curl_easy_init();
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, errorBuffer);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 0);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, idleCallbackFunction);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA, idleCallbackData);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_URL, url);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_PORT, port);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, postData);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, postSize);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headerList);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, writeFunction);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &buffer);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, CONNECT_TIMEOUT_TIME);
curl_easy_setopt(conn, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, OPERATION_TIMEOUT_TIME);
curl_easy_perform(conn);
curl_easy_cleanup(conn);

according to my debugger. the call stack where the memory was allocated
looks like...
X509_verify_cert_error_string
CRYPTO_malloc
sk_new
sk_new_null
CRYPTO_set_ex_data_implementation
CRYPTO_set_ex_data_implementation
