Overview
The parent class for all constructed encodings. The value attribute of a Constructive is always an Array. Attributes are the same as for ASN1Data, with the addition of tagging.
SET and SEQUENCE
Most constructed encodings come in the form of a SET or a SEQUENCE. These encodings are represented by one of the two sub-classes of Constructive:
- 
OpenSSL::ASN1::Set
- 
OpenSSL::ASN1::Sequence
Please note that tagged sequences and sets are still parsed as instances of ASN1Data. Find further details on tagged values there.
Example - constructing a SEQUENCE
int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(1)
str = OpenSSL::ASN1::PrintableString.new('abc')
sequence = OpenSSL::ASN1::Sequence.new( [ int, str ] )Example - constructing a SET
int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(1)
str = OpenSSL::ASN1::PrintableString.new('abc')
set = OpenSSL::ASN1::Set.new( [ int, str ] )Class Method Summary

Constructor Details
This class inherits a constructor from OpenSSL::ASN1::ASN1Data
Instance Method Details
    #each {|asn1| ... } ⇒ 1   
Calls the given block once for each element in self, passing that element as parameter asn1. If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
Example
asn1_ary.each do |asn1|
  puts asn1
end# File 'ext/openssl/lib/openssl/asn1.rb', line 148
def each(&blk) @value.each(&blk) self end
    #to_der  ⇒ DER-encoded String   
See ASN1Data#to_der for details.
