Behavior of secrets / environment variables with newlines (escaped / unescaped characters)
Now that's weird.
When I put my key in a variable in the code (let key = "..."), it works perfectly but if I put the same key (I copy pasted it) in a secret, the importPKCS8() function results in an error :
atob() called with invalid base64-encoded data. (Only whitespace, '+', '/', alphanumeric ASCII, and up to two terminal '=' signs when the input data length is divisible by 4 are allowed.)
So it works but I would prefer to have the value in a secret since it's the key to my Google Cloud Service Account so it's not great for security to literally have it in my code...

Seems like this exact issue still exists, e.g. when you have public / private keys in secrets in cloudflare, and you put them in secrets, they get returned in an escaped format. Did you ever find a clean solution to this? @gamengineer314 ?
store as b64 and decode?
I think I put it in a KV from the code (and then you can delete it in your code and use the KV).
I'm not sure if it's really clean but it's better than nothing 😅
