Hi folks,

I've got the need to programmatically inspect a digital certificate for
certain things (has it been revoked, has it expired, who is the issuer,
etc.), but I don't know how to get a handle on the certificate in order to
check these things.

I've been googling and trying various things for a couple of days now, but
I'm not really getting anywhere. The best I've come up with is that I may
need to use classes in java.security.cert, but I don't know how to use them.
I've looked up the docs on them, but they're not helping too much.

Has anyone ever had to do this? How does one go about downloading a digital
certificate in order to inspect it?

I kinda thought that if I did a cfhttp GET request, that I might get the
certificate back to verify amongst the variables returned by cfhttp, but
that didn't appear to be the case.

I'm really, really stuck and could use any help I can get. :o(

Thanks,
Chris
