[xmlsec] using SAX with xmlsec

Looks like my problem might be with libxml2, not libxmlsec.

I use xmlSaveFile to serialize a document containing my signature, and it 
cuts off everything that's base64-encoded when it encounters a space 
character.

Instead of
        <P>
 /X9TgR11EilS30qcLuzk5/YRt1I870QAwx4/gLZRJmlFXUAiUftZPY1Y+r/F9bow9s

          xR7DAjVUE1oWkTL2dfOuK2HXKu/yIgMZndFIAcc=
        </P>

it gives me

I don't know how to you build the <dsig:Signature/> node thus I can only 
guess.
And I would bet that you have some namespaces defined in the document
before this node. Try to use exclusive C14N in 
<dsig:CanonicalizationMethod/>
instead of the regular canonicalization. But I can promise you nothing. 
xmlsec
is not designed to work in this mode.

I build each template dynamically as a small DOM tree since I'm using a 
SAX parser for performance. I pass the individual Signature nodes in, as 
well as the document containing the templates and my untrusted cert file 
name. 

I cannot get the detached signature to verify unless the template is in a 
stand-alone file with the signature node at the root and  use 
xmlSecFindNode to derive the node. In other words, the node I pass in does 
not work, even if the Signature is the only thing in the file.
