+// This is a hack to avoid memory leak reports from the debug MSVC CRT for all
+// programs using the library: ASIO calls SSL_library_init() which calls
+// SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods(), which allocates some heap memory and the
+// only way to free it later is to call SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(),
+// but this function is unaccessible from the application code as OpenSSL is
+// statically linked into the C++ REST SDK DLL. So, just to be nice, call it
+// here ourselves -- even if the real problem is in ASIO (up to v1.60.0).
