bf_encrypt weirdness?

[wmgilligan]

<MvAssign name="key" value="1ABCDEFGHIJKLMN2">
<MvAssign name="word" value="doyouowndogs">
<MvAssign name="l.ok" value="{ bf_encrypt(key,word,wordenc) }">
<MvEval expr="{ l.ok $ ' = '  $ wordenc }">

RESULT = l.ok is a 1 (so bf_encrypt worked) BUT wordenc is blank ????

I have done this in the past, so I know it has worked and either I am having a brain fart (entirely possible) or to much wine???

SOLVED.
We are running amazon linux and using

<MvEval expr="{ crypto_last_ssl_error() }">

returns openssl error 50856204 which when googled is "OpenSSL error 50856204 in digital envelope routines: function (null): unsupported."

So it runs fine, but fails to return a result. On to the next issue....

You should not be using blowfish at this point. It has been disabled in OpenSSL, and will ultimately be removed, which means an update to the underlying openssl library will break your code.

Thanks. I realize that (brain fart plus wine). As soon as I checked the error the lights went back on :-)
This was for some testing against a url parameter.
