On the luci configuration page Services / uhttpd the fields for choosing the certificate and private key are labeled HTTPS Certificate (DER Encoded) and HTTPS Private Key (DER Encoded). This is misleading because uhttpd also accepts the PEM format.

The problem is that the DER format cannot contain a certificate chain. This is no issue for self-signed certificates, but a big problem for CA-signed ones. That's why the PEM format is needed.

I found this ticket where the PEM support has been added: https://dev.archive.openwrt.org/ticket/12457
and this ticket where someone had a similar problem: openwrt/packages#2797

I suggest to simply change the labels on the web page to something like: "HTTPS Certificate (DER or PEM format)"

Easy fix for the requested change.

Clarify DER support as having DER and PEM support, which it does, as of recently.

Direct result of issue openwrt#4248's request.
