[Charles Mills]

Those darned customers are asking for it!

I do understand the privacy exposure. Don't know if the customers do or do
not.

Good luck with OCSP, the documentation could definitely be better, and
various projects get it wrong.  IIRC curl gets OCSP right, so you
could look there for example code, some other projects go through the
motions, but don't always achieve a robust result.

[ FWIW, I don't care much for OCSP, it's often not required, so it is
  then not clear what security properties it provides. ]
