No, it isnīt such easy, because not all _PEM functions of OpenSSL have direct
DER counterparts. But DER cert/key loading can be supported with a little bit
of extra code, of course. But the question is: why do you want to use DER?
The conversion via "openssl x509 ..." is trivial... So, whatīs the
reasons? Perhaps itīs actually interesting to support DER in mod_ssl
in general?
