Billy,
This question probably belongs on -users, so I'll reply there. I'm only
going to answer the second part. Hey, BIO's are not always so hard! Suppose
you have your certificate in buffer 'cert_buf' and it is 'cert_len' bytes
long. Then
BIO *cert_bio = BIO_new_mem_buf( cert_buf, cert_len);
gets you going so you can now use cert_bio to read in the cert into
functions that take BIO's for input sources.
