I had the same issue and it turned out to be UTF-8 BOM. In case you don't knoew what it means - it's 2 hidden characters at the beginning of a file that indicates it is encoded with UTF-8. Notepad and other applications put it there by default. To remove it: If the file has only english characters (like certificates should have) - Open the file with notepad and click file>save as. In the 'encoding' field select 'ANSI', and save the file. Another option is to use HEX editor (I use xvi32 - free and good), and delete the first 2 characters. I hope this helps someone... Cheers, Dan
