A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Operational
Protocols: Certificate Store Access via HTTP

The protocol conventions described in this document satisfy some of the
operational requirements of the Internet Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This
document specifies the conventions for using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) as
an interface mechanism to obtain certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs)
from PKI repositories (although RFC 2585 covers fetching certificates via HTTP, this
merely mentions that certificates may be fetched from a static URL, which doesn't
provide a general-purpose interface to a certificate store). Additional mechanisms
addressing PKIX operational requirements are specified in separate documents.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
