    // When requesting the timestamp token, ask the server to include its certificate in the timestamp token response.
    // This allows for the timestamp server's certificate to be included in the LTV validation (i.e. if the timestamp server
    // has an OCSP URL, then Chilkat will also do the OCSP request for the timestamp server's certificate.)
