Description
keytool requires a certificate reply to be terminated by a newline (linefeed) in order to be able to import it (from a file).
If there is no linefeed at the end of the certificate reply, keytool will raise the following exception when asked to import the reply:

keytool error: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Unsupported encoding
