IdSSLOpenSSL - UTC_Time_Decode - convert to char should be PAnsiChar instead of PChar on Unicode - Solved

TIdX509.RnotBefore raising EConvertError with message 'Invalid argument to date encode'.

Unit: IdSSLOpenSSL Function: UTC_Time_Decode

Changed lines: ... //Result := 1; //XJIKKA 20240410 result 1 (on error) will raise EConvertError in UTCTime2DateTime with message 'Invalid argument to date encode'. Result := 0; //XJIKKA 20240410 default changed to 0 because of exits ... //SetString(LTemp, PChar(UCTtime^.data), UCTtime^.length); //using PChar I'm getting '??????Z?????'#0 (Delphi 11.3) SetString(LTemp, PAnsiChar(UCTtime^.data), UCTtime^.length); //using PAnsiChar everything OK ('190807084534Z') ...
