"no key" error while loading proxy certificate with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- prefix

[dharezlak]

voms-proxy-init version 3.0.3 generates proxy certificate with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END PRIVATE KEY----- prefix and postfix which is not recognized by org.globus.gsi.X509Credential.load(InputStream). Cutrrently only BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY sequence is supported.

According to http://www.cryptosys.net/pki/rsakeyformats.html BEGIN PRIVATE KEY means the key is in the PKCS#8 format while BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY indicates the PKCS#1 format.

Whereas one is encrypted and one is unencrypted.

I had same issue with private keys generated using openssl 1.0 and created workaround, see #118
