[Bug 57121] ocsp stapling should not pass temporary server outages to clients

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57121

--- Comment #4 from Damien B <br...@hotmail.com> ---
This bug is still unsolved after nearly 5 years...

We experienced today an outage due to Digicert OCSP server failure.
The only solution was to disable OCSP Stappling.

Luckily we were not using ssl cert with OCSP Must-Staple option!

This should be considered as a high priority bug.

OCSP server are not reliable and they can be down for several hours (like
today) or even days (like in 2017 for let's encryt).

Some people have even built OCSP-proxy to fix this beaviour and do the job
instead of apache:
