yeah, in order to get the "real reason" of the problem, i had to

I'm sorry that you had to go through this trouble. I have just checked
in three patches that should improve the error reporting of our PK11_
crypto functions. Since you had done the work of compiling NSS
from source, you can help me verify if my patches would have helped
in your situation, in two ways.
1. In your current NSS source tree, please let me know where in the
source code (source file and line number) it failed due to the length
of data and signed data. With this info, I can tell if my patches will
propagate that error up to the PK11_ function.
Or
2. Build the tip of the NSS source tree, and see if you get a better
NSS error code than -8192 (SEC_ERROR_IO) now. Hopefully you'll
get SEC_ERROR_INPUT_LEN (-8188) or SEC_ERROR_OUTPUT_LEN
(-8189) instead. You can check out the tip of the NSS source tree
as follows:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot
cvs -q co -A NSPR NSS
I think Chang's current work on doc is great, a detailed Docs about
NSS API(each level, including PKCS#11, Crypto Wrapper, and etc) will
help people like me(know the basic cryptography knowledge, but not good
at it) a lot.
Documentation is important, but informative error codes are also
important. This is why I hope you can help me verify my patches
would have helped you.
Ok, no problem, it's my pleasure.
But can you give me some days, because my project is close to
release dead line(at the end of this month), so this test can only
be done at this weekend or next monday. I'm terribly sorry for
this :(
BTW, the source i use is NSS_3_12_RTM tag, i think your patch
wasn't merge in this tag, right?
Thanks!
