[openssl-dev] openssl x509 -text incorrectly displays non-latin (non-ansi) symbols (missed '-utf8 option?)

[Erwann Abalea]

Bonjour,

Probably an openssl-users question.

Use "openssl x509 -text -in localhost-server.crt -nameopt 
oneline,utf8,-esc_msb"
Your terminal must be able to display UTF8 sequences.

I sometimes add the "show_type" nameopt option, to check things.
