Subject: [ruby-core:43968] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6234] Incomplete code in ossl_pkey_ec.c


Issue #6234 has been updated by MartinBosslet (Martin Bosslet).


I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure what the original intention was there.
 Is technorama still around? Could we ask her/him? 

If not my guess is that the intention was to read a point from OctetString
representation as described in section 2.3.4 in [1]. However, this would 
probably also require an additional parameter that indicates the point 
compression form. It would be a valuable addition, as well as having a 
method for the inverse operation, ECPoint#to_octet_string. If we can't 
reach technorama I will implement these two options. Or did the OP have 
something else in mind?

                ossl_raise(eEC_POINT, "unknown type for 2nd arg");
