      byte[] getEncoded (X509Certificate checkCert, X509Certificate issuerCert, String url)
      Fetch a DER-encoded BasicOCSPResponse from an OCSP responder. The method should not throw an exception.

      Note: do not pass in the full DER-encoded OCSPResponse object obtained from the responder, only the DER-encoded BasicOCSPResponse value contained in the response data.

      Parameters:
      checkCert - Certificate to check.
      issuerCert - The parent certificate.
      url - The URL of the OCSP responder endpoint. If null, implementations can attempt to obtain a URL from the AuthorityInformationAccess extension of the certificate, or from another implementation-specific source.
      Returns:
      a byte array containing a DER-encoded BasicOCSPResponse structure or null if one could not be obtained
