While we are on the subject of Unicode, there are other areas of OpenSSL that need Unicode support added, in particular handling of paths and filenames on UTF16-based filesystems that require wchar_t* parameters. For instance, on Windows, OpenSSL cannot load certificate files/directories that have Unicode characters in them. On 'nix, this is not a problem for systems that use UTF8-based filesystems, which can be passed via char* parameters. The Indy library (http://www.indyproject.org) had to work around this issue recently by implementing its own versions of SSL_load_client_CA_file(), SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file (), SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file(), and SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() from scratch using a custom X509_LOOKUP_METHOD structure and support routines.

Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2010 09:33:44 -0700 it appears that this function only handles char*, how should unicode strings be handled? thanks, sean ________________________________ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
