what version are you looking at? I'm on 10.8

Ticket is:

http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3438

Which I think is only merged to master. If you're using Chef as a library in another application it should be fine to start from there (and super easy to do if you're using bundler).

I'm using the chef REST API client (in code), and I would like to provide the signing key from somewhere other than the filesystem.

Looking at Chef::REST::AuthCredentials, I'm thinking of replacing the load_signing_key by redefining the method.

Anyone else play with this? Any caveats? 

Looks like you just need to pass :raw_key => true to Chef::REST.new
