21=head1 DESCRIPTION
22
23X509_load_http() and X509_CRL_load_http() loads a certificate or a CRL,
24respectively, in ASN.1 format using HTTP from the given B<url>.
25
26If B<bio> is given and B<rbio> is NULL then this BIO is used instead of an
af0d4136 27internal one for connecting, writing the request, and reading the response.

DDO
28If both B<bio> and B<rbio> are given (which may be memory BIOs, for instance)
29then no explicit connection is attempted,
30B<bio> is used for writing the request, and B<rbio> for reading the response.
31
32If the B<timeout> parameter is > 0 this indicates the maximum number of seconds
33to wait until the transfer is complete.
34A value of 0 enables waiting indefinitely,
35while a value < 0 immediately leads to a timeout condition.
36
37X509_http_nbio() and X509_CRL_http_nbio() are macros for backward compatibility
38that have the same effect as the functions above but with infinite timeout
af0d4136 39and without the possibility to specify custom BIOs.
