http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1489 --- Comment #11 from Jeremy Harris <jgh146...@wizmail.org> 2014-06-12 20:37:11 --- Viktor commented in the mailinglist that we shouldn't parse the output of X509_print_ex() and should return an OID rather than something human-readable. Since the default output of these extractors is intended to be human-readable I'm going to regard the suggestion of OID output as a feature-request for an alternate output format, selected by a modifier, and not included in the upcoming release. Not "parsing" is a more serious matter. I switched to using X509_print_ex() to get a string for the signature algorithm because that seemed to be the only published interface (given that the previous coding just didn't work). The coding suggested in comment 7 suffers from relying on library internal datastructures so I didn't like it either. Perhaps the OpenSSL maintainers will provide us with a less-decorated (but still human-readable), documented as stable, interface for this in the future. In the meantime we're reliant, with the current coding, of the leading part of the output from X509_print_ex() not significantly changing in future OpenSSL versions. The signature extractor, as amended, suffers from the same crticism. To tidy up its output I have to rely on the detail of the pre-tidied result of X509_print_ex().
