Subject: the API to load X509 from char*


I want to load a X509 cert from a pem format buffer. I know there are
PEM_read_X509 and PEM_read_bio_X509. But they are for files. Saving the
buffer to a file, then open it to load X509 sounds somewhat stupid. Can
anyone tell me an API to load X509 from a char* buffer?

Thx

Hazel
