Description From Tom Scavo 2006-04-05 10:59:35

This is an enhancement request.  Please consider making this method a public
method:

org.globus.gsi.CertUtil#readCertificate(BufferedReader)

In the GridShib project, to process an X.509 certificate passed as an HTTP
parameter, we are using the following incantation:

X509Certificate cert = 
  readCertificate(new BufferedReader(new StringReader(certStr)));

where certStr is the value of the HTTP parameter.  Since readCertificate in
Java CoG is a private method, this only works if we copy the method definition
to our codebase.
