-Entirely disables the use of HTTP.
+Disable the use of HTTP to fetch CRLs. This also disables OCSP
+requests as a side-effect. HTTP access to keyservers and to other
+files will still work. This is a legacy option from a time before CRL
+distribution points became common; it is better to use the explicit
+option @option{--ignore-http-dp} if the goal is to avoid fetching CRLs
+via HTTP.
