From 57358a83a401ef469353b7ebdae0cf3b870a4d5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Caswell Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2016 10:48:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] req command incorrectly displays the bits for an EC key When the "req" command is used to generate a new EC key using the -newkey option it will incorrectly display: Generating a 2048 bit EC private key This commit fixes the message to not display the bit length for EC keys because we don't currently support getting that during generation.
