Hello Mark,

thanks for the patches :D They are definitely useful.. I will integrate
them soon.. I know the problem with the OpenSSL - but as we are planning
on using LibPKI (that allows for direct integration with easy integration
with PKCS#11 devices, among other things.. ) I was thinking about delaying
the release of the new code a bit.

I will probably check the patch and schedule for a new OCSP release quite
soon (before porting the server under LibPKI).

Thanks again :D

Ciao,
Max

Greetings OpenCA developers!

We have recently been looking into utilizing the OpenCA ocsp daemon for
our own CA and have found it most useful. We did run into some issues with both bugs and features.
After running the daemon under a small bit of load we found that the
daemon would crash at random intervals - after a quick glance at the
source it seems that OpenSSL was not being initialized in a thread safe
manner. This fix is included within the patch.

We also needed the ability for the code to handle GET style methods for
ocsp requests. After looking over the current http handling code it was
determined that cleaning up and re-factoring the http processing
functionality may be in order. This was also included within the patch.

In order to facilitate the GET requests I had to add a new flag "-u"
where an administrator can specify the root URI (e.g., -u /ocsp/) so the
code knows to read the encoded data found afterwards.
I hope that you find these changes useful, and I thank you for the great
project!

~Mark
