OCSP Stapling Robustness in Apache and nginx

Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2015 16:34:03 -0700

Apache caches an OCSP response for one hour by default. Unfortunately, once the hour is up, the response is purged from the cache, and Apache doesn't attempt to retrieve a new one until the next TLS handshake takes place. That means that if there's a problem contacting the OCSP responder at that moment, Apache is left without an OCSP response to staple. Furthermore, it caches the non-response for 10 minutes (by default), so for the next 10 minutes, no OCSP response will be stapled to your

On Twitter the other day, I was lamenting the state of OCSP stapling support on Linux servers, and got asked by several people to write-up what I think the requirements are for OCSP stapling support.

  1. Support for keeping a long-lived (disk) cache of OCSP responses.

    This should be fairly simple. Any restarting of the service shouldn't blow away previous responses that were obtained. This doesn't need to be disk, just stable - and disk is an easy stable storage for most server

The old automation program that produced Caddy builds for various platforms and bundled them into archives for distribution
// This program was used to build Caddy up to (but not including) v0.10.
// On April 20, 2017, it was replaced by a new releaser script that
// integrates with the autonomous build server. It bundles assets into
// an archive format that best fits the target OS. It could use `go build`
// to compile, but the way I configured it was to run the build.bash
// script that ensured the Caddy binary had proper version information
// embedded.
//
// I'm posting this here because it is no longer available in the Caddy
// repository and maybe you will find it useful for your own (simple?)

How do you like your handler configs?

Caddy 2 HTTP handlers come in two flavors: middleware and responders.

  • Middleware are in the middle of a request chain; i.e. they have a next handler to invoke.
  • Responders are content origins, at the end of a request chain; i.e. there is no next handler. Any handlers defined after it would not be invoked.

Caveat: Sometimes a handler's role is ambiguous. For example, a caching handler would be middleware on a cache miss (it needs to invoke the upstream handlers for a response, then cache it), but on a cache hit it would be a responder, since no further handlers would be invoked (it would simply write the response).
