Good question. Someone running Netscape 6 might be able to answer
your question. However:

Well, that's correct, line breaks in SPKAC are a problem with
OpenSSL. Joining the lines into one isn't very difficult in perl,
however.
You could do one of two things:
- send us example SPKACs generated by Netscape 4.7x and by Netscape 6,
so we can see for ourselves.
- check the difference yourself and see if you can find what's wrong.
A note for Opera users: Opera uses the same mechanism as Netscape, and
unfortunately generates an SPKAC with embedded newlines every 64th
character. Those must be removed before the SPKAC can be used with
OpenSSL.
