RE: POLL: Nonce-specific error code for OCSP

["Liaquat Khan" <liaquat.khan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

NO

Not really needed in my opinion, generally the person (i.e. an
administrator) setting up the OCSP client software will know upfront the
capabilities of the responders that will be accessed by the OCSP client
and therefore configure the client accordingly (i.e. with or without
nonce).  

In the case that OCSP clients are dealing with random, previously
unknown OCSP responders, then such an error code may have some use in
pin-pointing the problem from the various things that may go wrong.  But
I don't think the limited value it adds is worth the change.  

Anyway, I agree with Denis, a summary would be useful though...in case I
have missed something important somewhere down the line...

All,

I recently received permission from the chairs to poll the WG
against the following question.

Should we standardize an OCSP *V1* error code that enables a
responder to indicate its inability to respond to nonced
requests?

Please respond with either YES or NO.
