Hello,

wget does not support CRLs. There is a bug report about this here:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?43501

The first step could to document (IMHO prefered in the manpage) this
behavior (see attached first ugly patch because I don't know where to
place this better).

The next and better step might be to implement this by loading CRLs
files (reporter points to curl where this is possible) then this patch
should be removed again.

Maybe you agree and apply this minor documentation patch.

Regards

        Noël

 Wget supports proxy servers, which can lighten the network load, speed
 up retrieval and provide access behind firewalls.  Wget uses the passive
 @sc{ftp} downloading by default, active @sc{ftp} being an option.
