Base64 encoding of the PEM certificate may looks strange, but it is done
for compatibility with other reverse proxy like F5 BigIp. It is also
possible to simply remove PEM header / footer and carriage returns (like
another reverse proxy)

This is the function used by "ngx_ssl_get_subject_dn" and
"ngx_ssl_get_issuer_dn" to get the DN
This is a sample output from the function of DN with carriage returns :
Issuer: /C=FR/ST=Some-State
\x0D\x0A\x0D\x0A\x0D\x0Atest/L=Paris/OU=An\x0D\x0Aign/CN=Autorite de
certification

Even if i've never seen Distinguished names with carriage returns, i
haven't seen such limitation in RFC 3280 / X500.
RFC 2253 shows a sample of distinguished name with carriage return.
