#228 Drop "NEW" from certificate request headers
Closed: fixed by rcritten. Opened by rcritten.

Closed: fixed
Reopen Issue

Certmonger currently generates a CSR with the header/footer:

-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

The NEW is still acceptable but generators should not be doing it per https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7468#section-7 :100: 

   The label "NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST" is also in wide use.  Generators
   conforming to this document MUST generate "CERTIFICATE REQUEST"
   labels.  Parsers MAY treat "NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST" as equivalent to
   "CERTIFICATE REQUEST".
