When using "SSLVerifyClient optional" is there a way (or are there plans for 
this) to redirect when mod_ssl detects a revoked certificate? What about 
setting $_SERVER["SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY"] == "FAIL" just as it is when no 
certificate is installed? In other words, why should the action be any 
different for no-certificate and revoked-certificate?

BTW, my application is a wrapper app to self manage private SSL certificates. 
The login pre-test is intended for all cases (without cert, with cert, and 
revoked cert) and detects by testing $_SERVER["SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY"] == "SUCCESS" 
(This is in a dedicated directory <Directory "..."> carefully designed to 
eliminate risk from MitM attacks). This works for the two cases no-cert & 
valid-cert, but for revoke-cert we get an ugly hard-stop. For example from 
Firefox: "SSL peer rejected your certificate as revoked".

If this isn't appropriate for modssl-users, is rather an apache issue, then 
advice for an alternate forum is appreciated. Has it already been 
discussed/requested? (searched a lot but didn't find anything)

I would like to build a mod_ssl with both the option to redirect on FAIL 
(separate options for no-cert and revoked-cert), and limit 
initiate-renegotiation only by server, not by client. Any help is greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks.
