Sometime people publish both binary formatted CRL and base64 formatted CRL.
But they are all X.509 v2 CRL.

Subject: CDP CRL format?

In relation to a CRL that is pointed at by the URI contained in a cert's
CDP, what *typically* might you expect the format of the CRL to be in? I'd
thought this would be an x.509x2 CRL wrapped in a PKCS#7.
 
Do some applications or platforms expect/want something else?
 
I've noticed that on a particular server that hold CRLs (from a Verisign
CA), there are a number of files of different formats. One file is LatestCRL
and another is LatestCRL.crl (amongst others). Anybody know what the
difference might be?
 
Thanks,

Marc
