Re: POLL: Nonce-specific error code for OCSP

["Terry Hayes" <thayes0993@xxxxxxx>]

NO 

The response should be as if the nonce extension was not present in the request. An 
implementation that does not support nonces should simply ignore the extension and 
generate (provide) a non-nonced response. 

The error code does not serve any purpose. Since, the error response is not signed, the 
client cannot use it to implement a policy that allows using a non-nonced response 
in cases where the server does not support nonces.  I believe this is one proposed use 
of this error code.

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.
