<tt>I thought this had become documented recently (i.e., in master
only, not even in 1.1.0), but can't find any evidence of such
documentation.<br>
<br>
SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey() takes a reference on its pkey argument in
the same way as SSL_CTX_use_certificate(); it is safe for the
local code to free its local copy.<br>

<div>Also is the same true - with SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey(ctx,

</span> SSL_CTX_use_certificate(ctx, cert), on successful
return, takes an additional reference on the supplied
|cert| argument to account for the pointer in |ctx|.
Thus, the caller of SSL_CTX_use_certificate() can safely
call X509_free(cert) to release the caller's local
reference, while the |ctx| retains a pointer to |cert|.<br>
