Hi,

Is someone working in OCSP validation of client certificates?  
I just want to know if someone is interested or working already before  
trying to do it myself 🙂

Cheers,

Roberto

OCSP is mentioned in the documentation of the ngx\_http\_ssl\_module  
module. See for example the ssl\_stapling config option:

> **[Module ngx\_http\_ssl\_module](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_stapling)**

AFAIK, nobody is working on it. Code in OCSP Stapling support is  
likely to be partially reusable though.
