My program has to handle big PKCS7 files, so IŽd be very interested in that streaming. I had to modify PKCS7_doit( ) routines to do that with *detached* signatures/envelopes, so I can create/read the big content apart from signature in a loop without using up my RAM, but I would prefer to leave that work to OpenSSL internals. But, in case a big *non-detached* PKCS7 is generated (maybe this is nowadays more usual), I have no option but to load all big content in memory because the internal d2i_XXX, i2d_XXX routines use only memory pointers. Something as a "stream BIO " instead of pointers could be a solution. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
