If you'd printed out the full error message including the additional information it would have told you the precise start line it was expecting. In this case your problem is that you are using the wrong function to load a public key in that format: you should use PEM_read_RSA_PUBKEY() instead. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
