OCSPRequest.java
================
line 79-80, Note that Debug.getInstance("certpath") may return null.
Looks like don't need dump variable any more.

OCSPResponse.java
================
line 134-135.
-------------
Debug.getInstance("certpath") may return null. May not need dump variable.

line 299:
---------
   byte[] responderKey = seq.getData().getOctetString();

I was wondering the variable may be responderKeyId:
   responderKeyId = seq.getData().getOctetString();

line 380-381:
-------------
Per RFC 2560, responderKeyId is a SHA-1 hash of responder's public key.
 The value may be not the SubjectKeyIdentifier in a certificate per RFC
5280.

line 373-384:
-------------
Why only include certs that match the responderID?  I was wondering that
these certs is used to build a full certification path.  The cert does
not match the responderID may be used as intermediate cert of a path.

line 442-445:
-------------
Need more time to parse the following update.
