Folks,

Struggling with x509v3 extensions from a programmatic interface. Found that 
simply stuffing ascii strings into an extension works fine:

        int nid2 = OBJ_create("1.3.6.1.4.1.2692.99.2", "geoLon", 
"Longitude(WGS84) of device calculating CSR");
        ASN1_OBJECT* obj2 = OBJ_nid2obj(nid2);

        ASN1_OCTET_STRING* data2 = ASN1_OCTET_STRING_new();
        ASN1_OCTET_STRING_set(data2, "-122.023828", -1);
        
        sk_X509_EXTENSION_push(exts, X509_EXTENSION_create_by_OBJ(NULL, obj2, 
0, data2));

And gives me nicely:

         368:d=6  hl=2 l=  24 cons:       SEQUENCE          
         370:d=7  hl=2 l=   9 prim:        OBJECT            
:1.3.6.1.4.1.2692.99.2
         381:d=7  hl=2 l=  11 prim:        OCTET STRING      :-122.023828

The sort of output I'd expect. And easily process this in a CSR, get it signed 
and all that.

But when I do the very same thing - but try to make that instead of an STRING 
something like an INTEGER or a binary sequence (e.g. an Image); I am
not seeing that picked up. 

E.g:

        int nid1 = OBJ_create("1.3.6.1.4.1.2692.99.1", "geoLat", 
"Latitude(WGS84) of device calculating CSR");
        ASN1_OBJECT* obj1 = OBJ_nid2obj(nid1);
        
        ASN1_INTEGER * data1 = ASN1_INTEGER_new();
        ASN1_INTEGER_set(data1, 100);
        
        sk_X509_EXTENSION_push(exts, X509_EXTENSION_create_by_OBJ(NULL, obj1, 
0, data1));

I see this return also an OCTED STRING:

          352:d=6  hl=2 l=  14 cons:       SEQUENCE          
          354:d=7  hl=2 l=   9 prim:        OBJECT            
:1.3.6.1.4.1.2692.99.1
         365:d=7  hl=2 l=   1 prim:        OCTET STRING      :d

Where am I going wrong ? Specifically I'd like to embed a very small image 
(containing a hard to forge noise pattern) and a few arbitrary IEEE floating 
point number in the CSR (i.e. in the part that gets signed by the pub-key of 
the CSR requester).
