+# NAME
+
+CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS - verify the certificate's status
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+~~~c
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS, long verify);
+~~~
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Pass a long as parameter set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable.
+
+This option determines whether libcurl verifies the status of the server cert
+using the "Certificate Status Request" TLS extension (aka. OCSP stapling).
+
+Note that if this option is enabled but the server does not support the TLS
+extension, the verification fails.
+
+# DEFAULT
+
+0
+
+# PROTOCOLS
+
+All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
+
+# EXAMPLE
+
+~~~c
+int main(void)
+{
+  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
+  if(curl) {
+    CURLcode res;
+    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
+    /* ask for OCSP stapling! */
+    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS, 1L);
+    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
+    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
+  }
+}
+~~~
+
+# AVAILABILITY
+
+Added in 7.41.0. This option is currently only supported by the OpenSSL and
+GnuTLS TLS backends.
+
+# RETURN VALUE
+
+Returns CURLE_OK if OCSP stapling is supported by the SSL backend, otherwise
+returns CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN.
