On a related note, I've also just filed "Bug 50742 - Detect when the OpenSSL 
runtime library is vulnerable to CVE-2011-0014".  I think it makes sense to 
*not* enable OCSP Stapling by default when a vulnerable version of OpenSSL is 
being used.

FWIW www.apache.org was running OSCP for some time.  It's temporarily
disabled in light of the pending 1.0.0d update.

Has anybody got results of testing the OCSP stapling code that they can 
share?

I would be sympathetic to an "on by default for 2.3.N" campaign if the 
lobbying came with some successful test results.  What code have you 
tested, how did it work, what configuration, what responder vendor, etc?

I was hoping to generate a bit more discussion and to reach consensus on the 
"when" question here on-list, but never mind.

I've just filed "Bug 50740 - Enable OCSP Stapling by default".
