Remote X509Certificates
-
Does any one know how to get a remote web server to transfer its Certificate (X509Certifcate) to the local machine using Sockets? I need the public key from a given web server.

I know. I have given up hope. I think I am going to the route of setting up an SSLSocket just to get the certificate information from the web server. This seems like a waste of resources to me. ~Nick

What are you talking about? How else do you expect to get it, magic? Maybe you need a career change, you could call youself "The Great Cardi".

led mike, The public key exchange for SSL is done before the SSL connection is established. I belive this is how the protocal works (Maybe I'm wrong). That is the only portion of the SSL protocal that I am looking to implement. I not really interested in secure communication or ecrypted sockets. I just need the server to transfer me its SSL cert. ~Nick

Mike, I am aware of how the SSL protocal works. What I am looking for is if someone on has implemented just the Handsake or X509 Certificate exhange portion of the SSL protocal. As the title of this topic suggets. ~Nick
