Unable to import CRL in Firefox
The same CRL imports fine in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
Using GUIdumpasn from http://geminisecurity.com/guidumpasn.html gives the error "Error: IA5String contains illegal character(s)" when decoding the CRL.
Using the latest version of dumpasn1.c from www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/ gives no error
Resolution
GUIdumpasn does not use the latest version of the ASN1 decoder. The CRL generated is valid according to the RFE. Please contact Firefox support to correct their CRL import algorithm.
