1) I would also check if the file size was changed, not only mtime. 2) I wasn't digging the code deeply, but the > ssl_ctx->crl_last_mtime.tv_sec >= crl_stat.st_mtime makes me think it would fail if the file goes reverted to a previous version. Perhaps the check shall be != instead of >=. > In

2016-11-28 Thread Antonio Quartulli
In order to prevent annoying delays upon client connection, reload the CRL file only if it was modified since the last reload operation. If not, keep on using the already stored CRL. This change will boost client connection time in instances where the CRL file is quite large (dropping from several
