The CA already received money > for the cert, so the CA should foot the bill for serving the revocation > information. (IMHO, this complaint is not entirely unreasonable). I checked the current proposal for an TLS extension for stapling multiple OCSP responses: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pettersen-tls-ext-multiple-ocsp-02 and single-OCSP response: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6066#section-8 and I consider both pretty disappointing and useless for the purpose of more efficient OCSP processing. The idea to require the server stalling the TLS handshake to obtain an OCSP response from some arbitrary client-specified OCSP responder with some arbitrary OCSP request attributes is IMHO a very bad idea for the general use case; I would never want my servers to perform such requests and can understand other server operaters who do not want this either. A generally useful TLS extension for OCSP response stapling should be a "take it or leave it approach", i.e. the server provides OCSP stapling for exactly the (first) OCSP responder in the OCSP AIA resources of the certificate(s) of the server certificate chain and both server and client can cache these responses for a few hours, and the client can indicate whether it still has cached OCSP-responses available and for which server certificate chain, which would obviate the sending of the stapled OCSP responses with each and every handshake (such as abbreviated TLS handshakes, aka session resumes) and still work successfully/transparently for credentials updates on the server. -Martin
