Hello Luiz,
thanks for the help. Your code is most surely correct.
But this
http://codepad.org/JJcm3J5b
(which should reproduce the sha1-rsa library using bc)  is not working
(the decrypted message is not the one I'm expecting to see).

Maybe I cannot use your url2bc to convert any hexadecimal value to
bc's big-int, can i ?

Also, assuming  it works, I'm not sure how a reversible operation
(bc2url) is possible.
