Re: Boost SSL handshake(http_server_sync_ssl) : still reachable memory keeps increasing

Need to check that. Just to be a little more clear, my requirements for the
http server are pretty basic and if it can serve just one request at a
time, it would serve my requirement. With this requirement, if io_context
object can be stopped and post that if we clear the ssl related stuff and
then start io_context again to serve the next request, would it help in
clearing the memory being held? Any thoughts?
