[Bug 1203537] [NEW] s/mime signature not working

[Ch. Tronche]

Public bug reported:

Given the following code:

#!/usr/bin/python

from M2Crypto import BIO, Rand, SMIME

_text = 'a sign of our times'

def sign(message):
    buf = BIO.MemoryBuffer(message)
    Rand.load_file('randpool.dat', -1)
    s = SMIME.SMIME()
    s.load_key('signer_key.pem', 'signer.pem')
    p7 = s.sign(buf)
    Rand.save_file('randpool.dat')
    out = BIO.MemoryBuffer()
    s.write(out, p7, BIO.MemoryBuffer(message))        
    return out.read()

print '2>>', sign(_text)

On Ubuntu 10.04.4 I got the following result (which is what I expect):

2>> MIME-Version: 1.0

However, on 12.04.2, I got this (that is, the signature is missing):

2>> MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature"; micalg="sha1"; boundary="----FB1930A6CCBB24D90C563DEBB2C0CBBC"

This is an S/MIME signed message

------FB1930A6CCBB24D90C563DEBB2C0CBBC
a sign of our times

(and that's it)

Version of python-m2crypto is 0.21.1-2ubuntu2.
