Attached is a really old (circa 2000) file called "ieexcep.cat". Windows recognizes it as a "Security Catalog Information". It is a weird file because it is like a mix of a cert chain (.p7b) and a signature (.p7s).
The d2i_PKCS7_bio() succeeds on it, but d2i_CMS_bio() does not. This is the only file I have that PKCS7 will parse but not CMS. Is there a specific reason why CMS cannot / should not work on this file? Is it safe to say that although it is valid PKCS7, it is not valid CMS, or is it not really a valid PKCS7 either? The reason I bring all this up is I was hoping to refactor all my code to use CMS instead of PKCS7; I would rather not have to do both (i.e., try CMS, then try PKCS7 if CMS doesn't work). Thanks, Phillip
