+Module Dependencies
+-------------------

+`mod_gnutls` uses the Apache HTTPD [Shared Object
+Cache](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/en/socache.html) to cache
+[OCSP responses for OCSP stapling](#gnutlsocspcache) and [TLS
+sessions](#gnutlscache). To use either cache you need to load a
+suitable `mod_socache_PROVIDER` module, which should be provided by
+your Apache installation.
+
+It is recommended to load at least `mod_socache_shmcb`. If that module
+is loaded `mod_gnutls` will [enable OCSP stapling by
+default](#gnutlsocspstapling), without needing any further
+configuration other than a [certificate chain](#gnutlscertificatefile)
+with OCSP support.
