Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8553. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The protocol conventions described in this document satisfy some of the operational requirements of the Internet Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This document specifies the conventions for using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/HTTPS) as an interface mechanism to obtain certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs) from PKI repositories. Additional mechanisms addressing PKIX operational requirements are specified in separate documents. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
