The OP might have meant "OCSP Stapling" which includes the OCSP data in
the data sent by the webserver during TLS session setup. That way, the
OCSP data doesn't need to be fetched from an OCSP server, which would
leak the fact a certain website certificate is being verified to the
OCSP server.

OCSP (without stapling) is already possible for the gnupg.org website
