Applying the "be liberal in what you accept" philosophy, I *hope* the
decode side of this will deal with full BER (including indefinite
length encodings), even though that's not part of DER..
(more than just curious...)
I did ask Harry to do that, but I haven't had a chance to check through
the code and make sure it does this. Is there a specific reason why
you're asking; something that we should be worried about? ....
Yes; the ASN.1 encoders used by the kerberos in DCE sends a bunch of
fields with indefinite length encoding rather than definite length
encoding.
