Hi.. I'm trying to extract a CRL Distribution Point Extension from a certificate, and I reached uptil the X509_EXTENSION . ASN1_OCTET_STRING, but I want to write the cldp to a char*.. but the asn1_string_st show this in some different form. Actually some bytes r prefixed and suffixed to the actual URL. Cna any one tell me how to get the uRL out of it.
