going crazy trying solve error on node.js while trying contact xero api.
i've used bunch of combinations of '.cer' , '.crt' , '.pem'.
i've followed advice of number of stackoverflow posters.
node.js https pem error: error:0906d06c:pem routines:pem_read_bio:no start line

the xero api says wants x509 certificate...i'm not making call though.
you need pem-encoded key xero module merely calls out node's built-in crypto module sign data. types of keys start with
-----begin rsa private key-----
and end with
-----end rsa private key-----
with base64-encoded data in between.
you can generate such key using openssl command-line utility:
openssl genrsa -out privatekey.pem 2048
then read privatekey.pem in node like:
var fs = require('fs'); var privatekey = fs.readfilesync('/path/to/privatekey.pem'); // pass `privatekey` rsa private key `xero` module ...
