`spark keys server key.der device.bla.com` does not work

[joegoggins]

spark keys server key.der device.bla.com does not work correctly when using a domain name. When an IP address is specified, ala spark keys server key.der 1.2.3.4, it works fine.

The bug is likely lurking somewhere in this code.

Saw a line below for checks var isIpAddress = /^[0-9.]*$/.test(ipOrDomain);

Hmm, the thing that stands out most is this (since we're not appending that odd padding byte to the string I think):

https://github.com/spark/spark-cli/blob/master/js/commands/KeyCommands.js#L367

Are you testing on an even length domain, or an odd length one?

[kennethlimcp]

the intermediate file for mine looks fine with domain names

I finally got around to analyzing this more closely. This comparison makes the issue pop out.

The issue is that the generated key should end immediately after the "00" byte on line 0000190 instead of padding with fffffff until 1024 bytes is reached.

[dmiddlecamp]

it sounds like the padding is indeed correct, but there is a missing null byte at the end of the domain string? -- Hmm, sorry, re-reading, I was comparing Kenneth's key to yours

[kennethlimcp]

@joegoggins, the extra 00 looks suspicious after the 6f

i just generated one using a random server public der file and i got this:

0000180:  0117 7374 6167 696E 672D 6465 7669 6365 ��..staging-device
0000190:  2E73 7061 726B 2E69 6FFF FFFF FFFF FFFF .spark.io.......

I'm on version 0.4.94

and the command i used is spark keys server xxxx.der staging-device.spark.io
