SMIME_write_PKCS7 - convert PKCS#7 structure to S/MIME format.
Synopsis int SMIME_write_PKCS7(BIO *out, PKCS7 *p7,
BIO *data, int flags);
DESCRIPTIONSMIME_write_PKCS7() adds the appropriate MIME headers to a
PKCS#7 structure to produce an S/MIME message.
out is the BIO to write the data to. p7 is
the appropriate PKCS7 structure. If cleartext
signing (multipart/signed) is being used then
the signed data must be supplied in the data argument. flags is
an optional set of flags.
NOTESThe following flags can be passed in the flags parameter.
If PKCS7_DETACHED is set then cleartext
signing will be used, this option only makes sense for signedData where PKCS7_DETACHED is
also set when PKCS7_sign() is also called.
If the PKCS7_TEXT flag is set MIME headers
for type text/plain are added to the content,
this only makes sense if PKCS7_DETACHED is
also set.
If cleartext signing is being used then the data must be read
twice: once to compute the signature in PKCS7_sign() and once to
output the S/MIME message.
RestrictionsSMIME_write_PKCS7() always base64 encodes PKCS#7 structures,
there should be an option to disable this.
There should really be a way to produce cleartext signing
using only a single pass of the data.
