My problem is simple. BSD doesn't ship with a base64 binary, so
I'm using the one in openssl. Encoding works fine, but decoding does not.
This is my DNS cert record:
FMIGMFRUkpXzNJA3//u+WjBiS7JJaHR0cDovL3ByaW1lLmd1c2hpLm9y
Zy9kYW5tLnB1YmtleS50eHQ=
base64 -d -i decodes it correctly:
00000000 14 c2 06 30 54 54 92 95 f3 34 90 37 ff fb be 5a
|...0TT...4.7...Z|
00000010 30 62 4b b2 49 68 74 74 70 3a 2f 2f 70 72 69 6d
|0bK.Ihttp://prim|
00000020 65 2e 67 75 73 68 69 2e 6f 72 67 2f 64 61 6e 6d
|e.gushi.org/danm|
00000030 2e 70 75 62 6b 65 79 2e 74 78 74 |.pubkey.txt|
0000003b
echoing the above string (even with echo -n, even with spaces
stripped) to openssl base64 -d yields nothing.
%openssl version -a

I realize the version my OS has installed is a bit old, but reasonably
solid. I searched for this bug first, and tried under newer versions
(0.9.8g) and it didn't seem to be better.
Note: in order to find this bugs address I had to download a source
tarball and extract the README, per the FAQ. Could the README not be put
up on the site? Should that be a separate bug?
Thanks
