Dear all,

Actually, I'm a student in the Mainland China having a reserach on the 
"Digital Certificate" applications and limitations --- e-commerce and 
cryptograhpy are still relatively new to our region.
I'm interested in all experts' views on evaulating the distribution
of the CRLCertificate Revocation List) using HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) instead 
of LADP over SSL regarding the different aspects,
e.g,
- what are the key considerations(security, performance)for choosing either 
protocol?
- what are the current preferred practice as performed by the
various CAs? (e.g. thawte, belsign)?

Regarding the CRL distribution mechanism (HTTPS,LDAP), I have found few 
topics yet there are of 98 versions:

a) Phillip Hallum-Baker
http://csrc.nist.gov/pki/twg/papers/hallum-baker.html

b) Mike Myers
http://csrc.nist.gov/pki/twg/twg98_6.html

Therefore, would be greatly appreciated for all the comments and advice from 
all the knowledge leads.
