Manual, line break at end of HTTP response causing mis-match?

Using:

./letsencrypt-auto -a manual certonly -d bangstickgames.com --agree-dev-preview --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

I receive the UI notice of published IP and the instructions for placing the verification file/data, then I receive “Incomplete authorizations”

LE log output indicates the HTTP server response includes a line break at the end of the verification data:

2015-11-14 07:38:43,037:DEBUG:acme.challenges:Key authorization from response (u'UIeprZsR1bpfAy6OqgpZNbfS90oWfvMKsIZipXoth9Q.xF_Q2kSDl53stfsR0yXDAM8RrFY80uS1kl0Q83HxUmA') doesn't match HTTP response (u'UIeprZsR1bpfAy6OqgpZNbfS90oWfvMKsIZipXoth9Q.xF_Q2kSDl53stfsR0yXDAM8RrFY80uS1kl0Q83HxUmA\n')

The verification file does not include a line break at the end of the data. I’ve verified apache is not sending a line break by opening the verification file in a browser - no line break. I’m not sure this is the cause of the auth failure - but certainly the mis-match listed there is the line break. Not sure what’s causing the line break to appear in the HTTP response.

Requesting the file does indeed reveal a trailing line break. Check the raw response in DevTools (or something similar) or verify via wget. I guess browsers automatically trim trailing line breaks.

Some text editors automatically append a trailing line break when saving a file, that might be the cause.

Any idea how the line break is getting added? Not clear why apache2 is doing this.

I’m using vi to create the file - there’s no line break when I edit it.

edit:

it was vi

used :set binary and :set noeol to fix

thanks!

Better just use the suggested echo -n ... > file, I’m not sure whether the -n is already suggested, but there’s at least an open issue for that on GitHub.

Maybe Boulder should just trim the payload.
