Description

Hi,

It looks like that http_client implementation does not currently support CRL's while using HTTPS. All other needed tls.secureContext options (e.g. ca, cert, key) are supported but from some reason crl option is not.

Is this a bug ? Would it be possible to add support also for crl option to http_client ?

Research direction

Start by locating the http_client HTTPS setup and reviewing how the tls.secureContext options ca, cert, and key are handled. Add equivalent support for the crl option, then verify that HTTPS clients pass it through correctly and that the relevant client tests cover the behavior.
