Collect the full set of CRL URLs used by GlobalSign EV certificates
This bug requests collecting the full set of CRL URLs that provide revocation information for EV certificates issued by GlobalSign. The reporter stated that Mozilla needs these CRL URLs for EV revocation checking. GlobalSign confirmed that it uses full CRLs and indicated that, at the time of the thread, there is currently only one CRL URL in use: http://crl.globalsign.net/ExtendVal1.crl. A participant objected to the approach and argued that Mozilla should implement CRL fetching for all CAs, noting that code appears to exist. Another participant responded that CRLDP support was expected to reach a stable state within months and that interim measures would be rolled back once proper CRLDP support is available. The bug is marked RESOLVED with resolution FIXED.
