💖 gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_file 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about the gnutls manual page for gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_file(3) — and it's giving certificate status, but make it fashion. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_file — it's an API function, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int
gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_file(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t
sc, const char * response_file, unsigned idx);

like, three args, one return value, we move 🦋

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• gnutls_certificate_credentials_t sc — this is your credentials structure, the whole vibe container bestie 💜
• const char * response_file — literally just a filename, but make it the filename of the OCSP response ⭐
• unsigned idx — a certificate index, and the way you get one is from gnutls_certificate_set_key() and friends 👑 (yes, "and friends", the manpage said it, iconic)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this function loads the provided OCSP response. That's it, that's the job. ✨

Then it will be sent to the client — if the client requests an OCSP certificate status for the certificate chain specified by idx. Conditional queen. 💅

---

😭 NOTE 😭

okay this is the part where you actually have to pay attention, bestie, no scrolling:

• the ability to set multiple OCSP responses per credential structure via the index idx was added in version 3.5.6. To keep backwards compatibility, it requires using gnutls_certificate_set_flags() with the GNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_API_V2 flag to make the set certificate functions return an index usable by this function. 🧚
• This function can be called multiple times since GnuTLS 3.6.3 when multiple responses which apply to the chain are available. If the response provided does not match any certificates present in the chain, the code GNUTLS_E_OCSP_MISMATCH_WITH_CERTS is returned. To revert to the previous behavior set the flag GNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_SKIP_OCSP_RESPONSE_CHECK in the certificate credentials structure. In that case, only the end-certificate's OCSP response can be set. If the response is already expired at the time of loading, the code GNUTLS_E_EXPIRED is returned. 💀
• To revert to the previous behavior of this function which does not return any errors, set the flag GNUTLS_CERTIFICATE_SKIP_OCSP_RESPONSE_CHECK. (yes they said it twice. yes it still means it. periodt.) 🌈

fr fr read that flag twice before you set it, that's the whole point of the note 💖

---

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned — slay. Otherwise a negative error code is returned, and we simply do not claim that one. 😭

---

🎀 SINCE 🎀

3.1.3 — old money, honestly 👑
