Hi Mark,

I have compiled 1.3.5 - but with the same result.

>>>> - disable OCSP (set ocspEnabled="false" on the SSLHostConfig)

this is not available yet in 9.0.113, right? Could that lead to the default 
"false" in 9.0.113?

I did not follow the exact logic: will I have to set this to true or will this 
be set automagically if I have an OCSP cert?

Thanks Peter.
