[ipxe-devel] [RESEND PATCH 1/5] [crypto] Fail fast if cross-certificate source is empty

[Ladi Prosek]

In fully self-contained deployments it may be desirable to build iPXE
with an empty CROSSCERT source to avoid talking to external services.
This commit adds an explicit check for such a case and makes
validator_start_download fail immediately if the base URI is empty.
