+# OCSP Stapling eliminating the need for clients to contact the CA, with the aim of improving both security and performance.

+# nginx web server supports OCSP stapling since version 1.3.7.
+#
+# *warning* Nginx is lazy loading OCSP responses, which means that for the first few web requests it is unable to add the OCSP response.
