You need to stop thinking how MS handles it, they are completely
different. You whack a small html tag which shows the different key
sizes along with a couple of other tags, and it gets submitted as a
form, just like the MS active x it isn't a complete CSR you need to add
additional text to the returned information to then shove it through
something like OpenSSL, then you return it to the user in DER format.
You only need to alter headers if you're scripting it to change the mime
type.
