In nginx when using the $ssl_client_raw_cert to get the cert as a pem in the header; is it just the encoded cert or is it in the following format?

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE -----

Encoded Cert

-----END CERTIFICATE -----

the doc says

returns the client certificate in the PEM format for an established SSL connection;

Based on a sample of one, the `-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE -----` marker is definitely present. – Richard Smith Apr 28 '17 at 13:32
@RichardSmith you got it off the server? else if you have any link to the sample you saw much appreciate it. – Janak Apr 28 '17 at 16:04
I use client certificates on one of my servers, so I just had a look at that variable. – Richard Smith Apr 28 '17 at 16:13
