Description
We are looking into implementing OCSP stapling support in our application using Ruby and are wondering how to do so/whether this is possible.
I found this SO post giving the steps using openssl: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9607516/openssl-certificate-revocation-check-in-client-program-using-ocsp-stapling
It mentions using SSL_set_tlsext_status_type and SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb method, which appear to not be referenced by ruby-openssl code.
Is it possible to implement OCSP stapling using ruby-openssl today? If so, can someone point me to documentation on how to achieve this?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the ruby-openssl bindings and the referenced OpenSSL entry points, SSL_set_tlsext_status_type and SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb. Determine whether OCSP stapling is possible through the current bindings and identify the documentation or implementation scope needed to make that support usable.
