The short answers is no. An OCSP response has to be signed by the issuer (or
a delegate of the issuer) and a self-signed cert is issued by itself. As a
general rule certs can't revoke themselves so there is no need to get a
revocation response for a self-signed cert.

Subject: OCSP and self signed

I was wondering about self signed certs. If I run the test OCSP it needs to
know the CA cert but there is no CA cert. So can a OCSP responder work for
self signed certs.
