title: OCSP Revocation Check On Entire Certificate Chain
body: <p>When you request for an OCSP server to check the revocation status of a cert, does it automatically check the revocation status of the entire chain?</p>
  
  <p>i.e: if it says the cert is "good", then does that imply the entire chain is good?</p>
  
  <p>I read the spec: <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2560.txt">http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2560.txt</a></p>
  
  <p>but it still seems unclear to me.</p>
  
  <p>Wikipedia does mention chained OCSP requests: </p>
