Dear developers,
Max,

1. As it happens, patch submitted by me yesterday, is meant for OCSP (ver.0.5.1) incorporated into latest snapshot of OpenCA stable branch, which one gets with:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/openca co -r openca_0_9_2 openca-0.9

This patch solves 1) OpenSSL-0.9.8 compatibility and 2) corrects UTF8 related handling of data.

2. Newest version of OCSP (1.0.5), distributed separately from OpenCA: 1) compiles for me with OpenSSL-0.9.8 without any problem, 2) to my vision does not need any UTF8 related changes in data handling, 3) has start-up script hard-coded towards ATT-like Unixes which makes it very hard to launch the OCSP on BSD-like Unixes.

3. Do you think that stable 0.9.2 branch of OpenCA should either 1) get a patched 0.5.1 version of OCSP, or 2) get a newest version of OCSP, or 3) any OCSP version be removed from stable 0.9.2 branch of OpenCA - to be distributed separately.

I am asking because now we are finishing relatively big revision of the stable branch: overall UTF8 support is there at long last, and some overall system aspects are changed towards more simple and robust i18n handling. Hopefully soon pending bugs in SCEP will be resolved. Then after some quarantine it could be reasonable to make a new release of stable branch.

Also business plans of my company need a *working* stable release with reasonably full i18n support. This is necessary to launch formal registration procedure, enabling legal use of OpenCA in Russia.

All the best, Sergei

Hi Sergei... I am going through the patch now, it seems to me the patch is
against a very old version of the OCSP, which version are you using ? Last
available is 1.0.5...

I say so because we do no-more use the index.txt db file, instead we use
a memory mapped db from loaded CRLs...

Let me know!
