Yes. Loading certificates from the buffer.
The problem is when this is bound to scripting languages, from the
scripting language you only have to read the file contents and give it
to Rampart. Otherwise (like in the case now) you have to remember to
remove those delimiters and then pass it to Rampart. If you look at
WSF/PHP they've written two functions to do this. Namely
ws_get_key_from_file and ws_get_cert_from_file.
IMHO, it makes things simpler to just read whatever on the file and
pass it to Rampart. Although it's just a matter of calling
s/str/replace/ in Perl, to me a function at Rampart layer seems like a
far more logical place.
Also this lead to an interesting debugging session to pinpoint what
was going wrong :-)
