Note that it is the caller's responsibility to pass in an appropriate context. Future versions of http-client-openssl will hopefully include a sane, safe default.

Computation of withOpenSSL action initializes the OpenSSL library as necessary, and computes action. Every application that uses HsOpenSSL must wrap any operations involving OpenSSL with withOpenSSL, or they might crash:

module Main where
import OpenSSL

main :: IO ()
main = withOpenSSL $
       do ...

Since 0.10.3.5, withOpenSSL is safe to be applied redundantly. Library authors may wish to wrap their functions not to force their users to think about initialization:

get :: URI -> IO Response
get uri = withOpenSSL $ internalImplementationOfGet uri
