Hi,

I am using boringSSL and it does have API to enable OCSP stapling on client side, but gRPC client (C++) API don't really expose any method to set that. Any plans to support that?

Thanks

We don't have any concrete plan to support OCSP in grpc core. 

One plan we have is to support handshaker model, where there is a handshaker server that does all the SSL work (key management, revocation, rotation, handshake, session resumption and caching, and so on). gRPC just needs to implement a thin handshaker client that talks to the handshaker server. In that scenario, OCSP support goes into handshaker server, rather than gRPC code.

Ok. Thanks.

Best,
