   > Ok trying again. So the code addition in tomcat-native simply uses a file 
BIO to load the contents of the file and use it as a password. So overall, I do 
not understand the benefit of the rather significant amount of changes over 
simply loading the password files in the Java code and calling tomcat-native as 
before. I don't understand why any third party users of tomcat-native are not 
able to do the same as well, there's very little value add here and API 
compatibility seems more useful.
   
   I understand your point. It is basically for consistency with the Java code. 
We do also pass the path of the certificate and key to OpenSSL while we could 
load it in Java and pass raw bytes. This is the same. Consistency.
