Thanks for the info, I was successfully able to create a certificate with status_request assertion built in.  My understanding is that mozilla will support both enforcement of the status_request assertion in the X509 certificate, as well as must staple assertion in HTTP response. Are you able to provide any references on how to configure a web server (IIS or apache) to provide this? I don't even see a mention of staple on the list of http headers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields

Any help would be appreciated.
