Get the parsable form of the current configuration

Given the following configuration being created:

config = OpenSSL::Config.new
  #=> #<OpenSSL::Config sections=[]>
config['default'] = {"foo"=>"bar","baz"=>"buz"}
  #=> {"foo"=>"bar", "baz"=>"buz"}
puts config.to_s
  #=> [ default ]
  #   foo=bar
  #   baz=buz

You can parse get the serialized configuration using #to_s and then parse it later:

serialized_config = config.to_s
# much later...
new_config = OpenSSL::Config.parse(serialized_config)
  #=> #<OpenSSL::Config sections=["default"]>
puts new_config
  #=> [ default ]
      foo=bar
      baz=buz
