Hi Olle,

thanks for your feedback. We're going to fix the documentation issues
you spotted.

The openssl library initialization is done by the tls module before any
other mod_init(), so as far as I understand it, the load order does not
matter.

To me, the real concern is that the openssl library will be initialized
several times if several modules or libraries want to use openssl in
the same process space (this is the case for example when using the TLS
module and another module using libcurl).

We spoke about this one, "ssl" reflects the names int the curl API. If
we totally disable SSL though, it makes sense to use "tls".

Good point, that is not addressed yet: we have to figure a way to reset
all the values previously set when a new message is processed.
Currently, they are reset when the HTTP query is sent.
