Man..... Would I be a happy man if there were a FM to R..... :-)
The OpenSSL.txt (OpenSSL v.0.9.2b) does contain a lot of information
about extensions, but there is nothing in there mentioning the API
functions. So unless you are very experienced with OpenSSL, how the h... are
you supposed to know that you have to call a specific function found
somewhere in the 2000+ files of OpenSSL to enable extension handling?
Anyway, the X509V3_add_standard_extensions() did the trick. I not
sure what it does, how to free it again (X509V3_EXT_cleanup() maybe) or if
it can be called and freed as many times you want, but I'll try and see what
happens.
All that said..... I still love OpenSSL and have the deepest respect
for you guys maintaining/developing the code.
Thanks Steve....
