=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/ocsp.h>

 OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX *OCSP_sendreq_new(BIO *io, const char *path,
                                     const OCSP_REQUEST *req, int maxline);

 int OCSP_sendreq_nbio(OCSP_RESPONSE **presp, OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX *rctx);

 OCSP_RESPONSE *OCSP_sendreq_bio(BIO *io, const char *path, OCSP_REQUEST *req);

Deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, can be hidden entirely by defining
B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value, see
L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:

 typedef OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX OCSP_REQ_CTX;
 int OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d(OCSP_REQ_CT *rctx, const ASN1_ITEM *it, ASN1_VALUE *req);
 int OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(OCSP_REQ_CT *rctx,
                              const char *name, const char *value);
 void OCSP_REQ_CTX_free(OCSP_REQ_CTX *rctx);
 void OCSP_set_max_response_length(OCSP_REQ_CT *rctx,
                                   unsigned long len);
 int OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req(OCSP_REQ_CTX *rctx, const OCSP_REQUEST *req);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions perform an OCSP POST request / response transfer over HTTP,
using the HTTP request functions described in L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX(3)>.

The function OCSP_sendreq_new() builds a complete B<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX>
structure using connection B<BIO> I<io>, the URL path I<path>, the OCSP
request I<req>, and with a response header maximum line length of I<maxline>.
If I<maxline> is zero a default value of 4k is used.
The I<req> may be set to NULL and provided later using OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req()
or L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set1_req(3)> .

The I<io> and I<path> arguments to OCSP_sendreq_new() correspond to the
components of the URL.
For example if the responder URL is C<http://example.com/ocspreq> the BIO
I<io> should be connected to host C<example.com> on port 80 and I<path>
should be set to C</ocspreq>.

OCSP_sendreq_nbio() performs I/O on the OCSP request context I<rctx>.
When the operation is complete it assigns the response, a pointer to a
B<OCSP_RESPONSE> structure, in I<*presp>.

OCSP_sendreq_bio() is the same as a call to OCSP_sendreq_new() followed by
OCSP_sendreq_nbio() and then OCSP_REQ_CTX_free() in a single call, with a
response header maximum line length 4k. It waits indefinitely on a response.
It does not support setting a timeout or adding headers and is retained
for compatibility; use OCSP_sendreq_nbio() instead.

OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d(rctx, it, req) is equivalent to the following:

  OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set1_req(rctx, "application/ocsp-request", it, req)

OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req(rctx, req) is equivalent to the following:

 OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set1_req(rctx, "application/ocsp-request",
                            ASN1_ITEM_rptr(OCSP_REQUEST),
                            (const ASN1_VALUE *)req)

The deprecated type and the remaining deprecated functions
have been superseded by the following equivalents:
B<OCSP_REQ_CTX> by L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX(3)>,
OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header() by L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(3)>,
OCSP_REQ_CTX_free() by L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_free(3)>, and
OCSP_set_max_response_length() by
L<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_max_response_length(3)>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

OCSP_sendreq_new() returns a valid B<OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX> structure or NULL
if an error occurred.

OCSP_sendreq_nbio(), OCSP_REQ_CTX_i2d(), and OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req()
return 1 for success and 0 for failure.

OCSP_sendreq_bio() returns the B<OCSP_RESPONSE> structure sent by the
responder or NULL if an error occurred.
