Re: Large files with smime

[Pablo J Royo]

Althougth no such a big files, we also create big PKCS7 files (tens of Mbytes) using detached PKCS7.I donīt know exactly if this is supported by OpenSSL now, but there is a "detached" attribute for files in PKCS7 routines, and working in PKCS7_verify(),PKCS7_init(),PKCS7_data() you can do it.You have to change memory BIOs (yes,all the data is handled in memory) by file BIOs.   Pablo J.

It doesn't report any error message.   On stepping through the source, we found that it's failing in OPENSSL_malloc.   However openssl enc works fine with files larger than 2 GB.   There is a bug in one of those pkcs7_ routines. Is there a workaround for this problem?   We are using Openssl 0.9.6c 21 Dec 2001 version.   Any help is greatly appreciated.   Thanks and regards, Girish
