my example "stuff between BEGIN CERT and END CERT ... including begin and
end lines" is not what I see. Its what I am looking for. When I open up the
.cer file in notepad I see junk. Not even text characters. I see funny
symbols as well. There is no BEGIN or END lines like I see when gettting a
cert from Verisign.
