That is correct. Until your mail here I didn't even know OCSP existed.

No, that's not possible. libcurl doesn't do "openssl commands", it uses the
OpenSSL API.
To get libcurl to do OCSP we must add that support to the library, and if
OpenSSL provide the functionality I figure it should be too hard.
