By the way, to distribute my certificate to a MSIE browser must be in
DER format, right?
After VERY much experimentation the only hypothesis that we
could substantiate is that MSIE completely ignores the mime
type under which the file is downloaded, and looks only at
the extension of the filename under which the file is
downloaded.
We did find that with a ".der" extension it will recognize
a DER encoded certificate. I cannot speak to the question
of if there exists an extension which will trigger recognition
of a PEM certificate.
Somewhere in the mountain of paper on my desk I have a hand
compiled listing of all the extensions that have setup
entries in the M$ types database, like .p7b (PKCS #7)
and .p12 (PKCS #12) etc but I don't remember offhand if there
was anything like a ".pem" or anything...
And, M$ could change this at any time. And there COULD be
subtle differances between the various releases of MSIE.
