Message:

HTTP API: Remove 1024 bit certificates from bundled root certificates.

These legacy certificates have historically been retained in the certificate bundle so some ancient versions of OpenSSL continue to work with the bundle despite path discovery bugs in those versions.

The affected OpenSSL versions are all over a decade old now. To ensure the ongoing security of the HTTP API these 1024 bit certificates have been removed.
