[openssl-users] MIME-canonicalization

[etc at coderhacks.com]

I have verified in comparing the orginal file that is going into 
SIME_read_CMS with
the content of the the 2nd argument (bcont) it get out of it.

I check manually. The file with a hex-editor.
bcont with BIO_read and then print it to the screen.

The file does have LFs, the bcont does have CRLFs.

The file is going directly into SMIME_read_CMS via BIO_read_filename.
So I use the filename to address the content-file - no string or 
something with a previous parsing.

I am running a debian buster.

Best regards,
Chris

For example, if you write a file using a file BIO that was created using a FILE* from a text-mode fopen, that file will have LFs converted to CRLF on output. You need to open the file in binary mode, or call _setmode on the FILE* before writing to it.
