Thank you.

P.S. I'm not using it for SSL, I'm using it for digital signature.


Yes, Firefox can verify signatures that use RSA (PKCS #1 v1.5)
with SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.

By the way, I recently learned of SHA-224.  NSS doesn't
implement SHA-224 yet.

Not very useful fortunately. There was a lengthly discussion on pkix about it, with some people asking not to standardize it, as it serves no useful purpose (the size difference with SHA-256 is not significant, it has been created only to correspond to the actual practical security level of 3DES, 112*2=224). Even if the implementation is not difficult it represent more code, more case to test, more opportunity for errors, etc.
