Hi

I thought I'd share this info, taken from the curl users list, archived at
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2010-07/0024.html

Perhaps someone more involved with NSS feels like taking this issue onwards,
as it feels like either a limitation/bug in NSS, or a limitation/bug in how
libcurl is using NSS...

The failure was due to my PKCS#8 private key format :
  - With a PKCS#8 private key
        -----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----  header
    or
        -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----  header
    curl+openssl works, but not curl+nss+libnsspem.so
  - With a RSA private key
        -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----  header
    both curl+openssl and curl+nss+libnsspem.so work
