Re: Problem with OpenSSL 0.9.4 on MS Windows NT 4

2000-01-07 Thread Andrew Cooke
[For the list archives] I think this is now cleared up - openssl by default uses \n rather than \r\n. However, it is possible to change the format using a simple perl script (or, apparently, by emailing certificates). Whether lines end with \n or \r\n does not affect certificate use. Andrew
