Hi Amos,

I have implemented your suggestions. The updated patch follows at the
end of this message. Please tell me if I forgot anything.

The 'dhfile' pointer is still only set by the (deprecated) "dhparams="
option. The pointer to tls_dh or eecdhCurve is instead copied to the local
'dhFile' pointer, which can be discarded without issues after the call
to Ssl::readDHParams. However I should not have named the local pointer
'dhFile', as it causes confusion. I have now renamed it to
'dhParamsFile'. Please tell me if I overlooked anything.

Best regards,
Paulo Matias
