thanks for your answer.
xxd -r -p does work, and leaves me with a binary file.
i tried converting that to PEM, which leaves me with something indeed quite
looking like a private key, when comparing to one i created with openssl, but
still no luck. some weird chars in there:S now if only i knew where it funks
up. The function i use to convert to pem is:
function der2pem($der_data) {
$pem = chunk_split(base64_encode($der_data), 64, "\n");
$pem = "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n".$pem."-----END RSA PRIVATE
KEY-----\n";
return $pem;
}
thanks again
