(E.g. how do I iterate through a CERTCertList?) The best documentation on these is the NSS source code. In particular the source to the certutil command line utility. cmd/certutil/certutil.c Look for ListCerts on line 575. It's also useful and instructive to search the code base for other references to the same types, often you'll discover a pattern or see some other tidbit that's useful. > The documentation on developer.mozilla.org seems *really* > incomplete.

Probably not, I think most developers using NSS learn it from studying either the NSS source or source code that uses NSS. At one time there was better doc online but I think some of it has disappeared with various attempts to organize Mozilla developer doc. -- John -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
