=head1 NAME

X509_load_http,
X509_http_nbio,
X509_CRL_load_http,
X509_CRL_http_nbio
- certificate and CRL loading functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/x509.h>

 X509 *X509_load_http(const char *url, BIO *bio, BIO *rbio, int timeout);
 X509_CRL *X509_CRL_load_http(const char *url, BIO *bio, BIO *rbio, int timeout);

 #define X509_http_nbio(url)
 #define X509_CRL_http_nbio(url)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

X509_load_http() and X509_CRL_load_http() loads a certificate or a CRL,
respectively, in ASN.1 format using HTTP from the given B<url>.

If B<bio> is given and B<rbio> is NULL then this BIO is used instead of an
interal one for connecting, writing the request, and reading the response.
If both B<bio> and B<rbio> are given (which may be memory BIOs, for instance)
then no explicit connection is attempted,
B<bio> is used for writing the request, and B<rbio> for reading the response.

If the B<timeout> parameter is > 0 this indicates the maximum number of seconds
to wait until the transfer is complete.
A value of 0 enables waiting indefinitely,
while a value < 0 immediately leads to a timeout condition.

X509_http_nbio() and X509_CRL_http_nbio() are macros for backward compatibility
that have the same effect as the functions above but with infinite timeout
and without the possiblity to specify custom BIOs.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

On success the function yield the loaded value, else NULL.
Error conditions include connection/transfer timeout, parse errors, etc.
