Hello All:

Need clarification on the Certificate Validation Procedure used in HTTP Boot.

The certificate parsing done at HttpDxe in file HttpsSupport.c in the function TlsConfigCertificate().

The below code snippet is TlsSetSessionData call for each certificate data.

  while ((ItemDataSize > 0) && (ItemDataSize >= CertList->SignatureListSize)) {
    Cert = (EFI_SIGNATURE_DATA *) ((UINT8 *) CertList + sizeof (EFI_SIGNATURE_LIST) + CertList->SignatureHeaderSize);
    CertCount  = (CertList->SignatureListSize - sizeof (EFI_SIGNATURE_LIST) - CertList->SignatureHeaderSize) / CertList->SignatureSize;
    for (Index = 0; Index < CertCount; Index++) {
      //
      // EfiTlsConfigDataTypeCACertificate
      //
      Status = HttpInstance->TlsConfiguration->SetData (
                                                 HttpInstance->TlsConfiguration,
                                                 EfiTlsConfigDataTypeCACertificate,
                                                 Cert->SignatureData,
                                                 CertList->SignatureSize - sizeof (Cert->SignatureOwner)
                                                 );
      if (EFI_ERROR (Status)) {
        goto FreeCACert;
      }
      Cert = (EFI_SIGNATURE_DATA *) ((UINT8 *) Cert + CertList->SignatureSize);
    }
    ItemDataSize -= CertList->SignatureListSize;
    CertList = (EFI_SIGNATURE_LIST *) ((UINT8 *) CertList + CertList->SignatureListSize);
  }

In the attached code, once an invalid certificate of available certificates Set via TLS, if its failed the code does not post further certificates even those could be valid certificates.

Is the code is purposefully done? May we know the expected behavior of the code.
