valgrind reports problems with libcurl when using https

So I've got a very basic example of talking to a facebook server over https, but valgrind is complaining sadly. So I assume I'm not setting something up incorrectly... does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Here's my code:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <curl/curl.h>

size_t write_fn_impl( void* ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void * data )
{
  std::string * result = static_cast<std::string*>(开发者_StackOverflowdata);
  *result += std::string( (char*)ptr, size*nmemb );
  return size*nmemb;
}

int main()
{
  std::string url_full="https://graph.facebook.com/me";
  std::string useragent = "Facebook API C++ Client (curl)";

  CURL * ch_ = curl_easy_init();
  char error_buffer[CURL_ERROR_SIZE];
  curl_easy_setopt( ch_, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, error_buffer );
  curl_easy_setopt( ch_, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, &write_fn_impl );
  std::string result;
  curl_easy_setopt( ch_, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &result );
  int id = 1;
  curl_easy_setopt( ch_, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, id );

  curl_easy_setopt( ch_, CURLOPT_URL, url_full.c_str() );
  curl_easy_setopt( ch_, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, useragent.c_str() );
  curl_easy_setopt( ch_, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
  curl_easy_setopt( ch_, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
  curl_easy_perform(ch_);
  curl_easy_cleanup(ch_);

  std::cout<< result<<std::endl;
}

And what valgrind says is:

MK is partially correct. Valgrind does throw up a lot of junk warnings about OpenSSL. But in my case the crashes I was seeing did seem to be due to some trouble with how I was using openSSL. In particular it was not getting correctly set up for multithreaded use. The curl docs cover what you need to do .. but somehow I must have missed it)

Anyway heres the suppression file that helped me find it .. it may be of use to someone.. But beware it probably doesnt' catch everything you'd want to catch, and it probably catches some things you dont want...

Last time somebody tried to make sure OpenSSL runs clean under valgrind Bad Things (tm) happened: http://blogs.fsfe.org/tonnerre/archives/24

So I would just ignore any vlagrind warnings about OpenSSL.
