This is a 'Lightweight Directory Access Protocol' (LDAP).
LDAPs let you find people's addresses on the Net (like a phone book).
Some are used to host pgp public keys like the one above.
I am not sure that IE3 would recognise the ldap:// as something to
search for. It should open a dialogue box asking you to connect to
certserver.pgp.com
There isn't such a thing as www.certserver.pgp.com
