I take that back; from code reading it does seem like you should be
able to extract it via evhttp_request_get_connection.

Well, that is what I expected as well. I tried to useÂevhttp_request_get_connection() in the client callback but *always* returns NULL.

I also expected thatÂevhttp_request_get_connection() works with client requests but it does not free evcon memory completely....

My apologies,
though I think that in your case passing via the ctx parameter would
be fine.

Passing connection via context parameter and freeing it inside the callback makes valgrind happy! Thanks.
