FF 3.5.0 and FF 3.5.1 do not support fetching of certs from AIA extension URIs, nor fetching of CRLs from CDP extension URIs. The code to fetch certs from AIA URIs is present, but Firefox has not yet put it into use. The code to do CRL fetching is not yet present in FF 3.5.0 or 3.5.1, but has been made available in a new version of NSS that is not yet being used in FF 3.5.x. I expect this will change before the end of 2009, and CDP fetching will be put to use. I expect that will happen sooner than the fetching of certs from AIA URIs. -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
