Hello Marc, the latter is the case. For the HTTP protocol, the certificate doesn't matter. Once the secure connection is established, HttpClient just uses it. Whether any certificates were involved when the factory established the connection is of no interest to HttpClient. You may have to implement your own protocol factory. Whether it will be possible to determine the factory level information for a connection, I cannot tell. If not, let us know and we'll discuss what hooks should be added.

Hello, I have the http libraries working with SSL, but I need to be able to retrieve the server's certificate on connection. I looked at the easy ssl protocol handler, but I didn't see anything that let me do this. Am I missing something, or is this handled at the JSSE level?
