    Description

      I've written small client using Axis2C and I've noticed memory leaks
      when connecting to service with https.

      I've checked with the valgrind and got following results:
      valgrind --leak-check=full
      ==8057== 58,000 (292 direct, 57,708 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are
      definitely lost in loss record 9 of 9

      ==8057== by 0x7B4E4CD: (within /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8g)
      ==8057== by 0x7B4EB4E: CRYPTO_malloc (in /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8g)

      ==8057== LEAK SUMMARY:
      ==8057== definitely lost: 332 bytes in 4 blocks.
      ==8057== indirectly lost: 57,900 bytes in 596 blocks.
      ==8057== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.
      ==8057== still reachable: 28,292 bytes in 1,887 blocks.
      ==8057== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.

      As I expected when I changed https to plain http the problem disapeared:
      ==9065== LEAK SUMMARY:
      ==9065== definitely lost: 40 bytes in 3 blocks.
      ==9065== indirectly lost: 192 bytes in 6 blocks.
      ==9065== possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.
      ==9065== still reachable: 300 bytes in 3 blocks.
      ==9065== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.

      I looked at the code and it seems axis2_ssl_utils_cleanup_ssl function isn't called in case of successful connection.
