Proposed API Changes for JEP 124: Enhance the Certificate Revocation-Checking API

[Sean Mullan]

Hi,

As part of JEP 124 [1] I have been working on a few API changes for JDK 8 that
will help improve the API for validating and checking revocation status of
certificates in a certificate chain.

I have posted a README and a specdiff of my proposed API changes for review:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mullan/jeps/124/api/draft.03/README.html

The README gives a couple of examples and the specdiff shows the API changes in
javadoc compared against the latest JDK 8 sources.

Please review the API changes and send any comments to the list. I would prefer
to get any comments by the end of next week, if possible.

Thanks,
Sean
