OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) requests

[samirsha]

Hello All,

We noticed OCSP requests going out from Qt Webkit based desktop product during first launch after installation. We visit non-SSL website though Qt Webkit is enabled to support SSL. In low latency countries these requests to verisign takes up a few seconds when we are not even visiting SSL sites.

My question is that until Qt Webkit visits very first SSL site, is there any need to sync up on OCSP?

Thanks.
