README

cert_net/ contains certificate functionality that depends on network loading (OCSP, CRL, AIA fetching).

The implementation in this directory is built on URLRequest. See also services/cert_verifier/cert_net_url_loader/ for an implementation built on URLLoader.

Conceptually certificates (net/cert/) is a separable concept from net/ and may end up becoming its own build target. This file organization encourages not adding dependencies in cert/ for doing network loading. Instead that code should be placed here.
