MIN_URL_SIZE problem in checkRFC822(...)

[Juraj Michalak]

Hello,

I have chosen cryptlib for my master's thesis project. I also want to
thank you for this lib.

I had following little problem in my "test program":
...
status = cryptSetAttributeString(certificate, CRYPT_CERTINFO_COMMONNAME,
labels[i], strlen(labels[i]));
...
status = cryptSetAttributeString( certificate,
CRYPT_CERTINFO_RFC822NAME, labels[i], strlen(labels[i]));
...
cryptSetAttribute(certificate, CRYPT_CERTINFO_SUBJECTPUBLICKEYINFO,
keypair);
...
status = cryptSignCert(certificate, keypair); -----> here I had an ERROR

My observation:

checkRFC822(...) [cert/ext_def.c:2718] was called for identifier (I have
used "root@amd" - amd is virtual server in my test environment and don't
be sad I also have intel) -> checkURLString(...) [cert/ext_def.c:2588]
-> and at the beginning:

REQUIRES( urlLength >= MIN_URL_SIZE && urlLength < MAX_URL_SIZE );

-> this is there even if the "urlType" is "URL_RFC822"

My fast solution was to continue in my work:

// CHANGED:
//#define MIN_URL_SIZE                  12                      /*
http://x.com */
#define MIN_URL_SIZE                    3                       /* a@b -
because also MAIL*/

But it's not nice/good solution or even solution.

I'm also reading your manual. I have copied reference part from your PDF
to plain text file. I'm making extra notes from manual to that txt file
- to have more info in function reference. I can provide it and also
others can contribute. Is there any version system available? It would
be nice to have full MAN pages for cryptlib.

best regards

Juraj Michalak

Thanks, the correct check should actually be:

  REQUIRES( urlLength >= MIN_RFC822_SIZE && urlLength < MAX_URL_SIZE );

There aren't any manpages because they're not terribly useful as documentation
(um, this could get into a long debate over documentation styles and quality
:-).  You're welcome to create manpages if you like and I can add them to the
cryptlib distribution, but it'd be better I think to get feedback on bits of
the manual that need clarification.

Peter.
