Openssl supports proxy certificate validation as specified in RFC 3820, and will not require CRLs for them. You must however set a flag (in the form of an environment variable) to allow for proxy certificate handling, it's not turned on by default.


GNU/TLS support proxy certs as well, but I haven't played with that so I don't know any details.

I'm positive you will find many commercially supported relying party products out there that make use of one of these softwares under the covers.
