RE: Problem with root cert on web page.

[Benny Chandra]

So you mean save the file to disk then open in from explorer? Here is my
code in ASP for sending the cert to IE:

<%
        'Finding root cert
        strScriptPath = Request.ServerVariables("PATH_TRANSLATED") 
        strPathOnly = Left(strScriptPath, InStrRev(strScriptPath, "\"))
        strRootCertFile = strPathOnly + "root.cacert"   
        Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
        Set RootCert = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strRootCertFile)
        strRootCert = RootCert.ReadAll
        
        'Sending certificate contect to client
        Response.ContentType="application/x-x509-ca-cert"
        Response.AddHeader "Content-disposition", "rootcert.pem"
        Response.Write(strRootCert)
%>

Hi Benny. It was an error. I have IE 5.0 of course. And I did it again just
a
few minutes ago from IE 4.0. After that dialog box try "opening 
the file from...bla bla".

     I think the latest version of IE is 5.5? How can you get IE 5.9, or it
is not for PC?. I try sending MIME header application//x-x509-ca-cert 
  in IE 5.01 and it open save dialog box instead intalling those
certificate.

       Yes you can. I did in IE 5.9 it and it worked just fine. This is my
Perl
code:

       #!/usr/bin/perl

       require 5.003;
       use strict;
       use CGI;

       my $cert_dir = "/usr/local/ssl/private";
       my $cert_file = "CAcert.pem";

       my $query = new CGI;

       my $tipo = $query->param('FORMAT');
       if ($tipo eq 'DER') { $cert_file = "CAcert.der"; }

       my $cert_path = "$cert_dir/$cert_file";

       my $data = "";
       open(CERT, "<$cert_path");
       while(<CERT>) { $data .= $_; }
       close(CERT);

       print "Content-Type: application/x-x509-ca-cert\n";
       print "Content-Length: ", length($data), "\n\n$data";
