Problem with SSH private key file since 1.0.99
See original GitHub issueSimilar to #2006 I generated a key with putty-keygen (I think, it was so long ago) and it stopped working to connect by SSH in 1.0.99 (and 1.0.100) with the following message:
Error while signing data with privateKey: error:06000066:public key routines:OPENSSL_internal:DECODE_ERROR
Here is the header of my key file:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,6AAC7A25BD3CC1C457B424C247C20CEB
It used to work fine until 1.0.98. Is this a regression or is it some format that will not be supported anymore ?

Thank you ! But as stated by someone in that thread, converting to PEM does not seem like a great solution
FYI
