I hope I'm sending this to the right group. Can someone describe for me
(or point me to documentation) how Firefox 1, 2, and 3 handle revocation
checking, in terms of CRLs and OCSP? What I'm interested in is:
 - whether revocation checking is turned on by default
 - whether CRL checking can be enabled but only for certain CRLs and Cas
 - whether FF can be told to follow the CDP or AIA extension in the cert
 - any other wrinkles

I'm running FF2 now and I can see what options are there (for example,
there seems to be no option to ask FF to follow whatever CDP pointer is
found in the cert) but I don't know if it was enabled by default when I
first installed it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

-Rick Andrews
