Hi,
i have been running a [private|local] CA which also functions as a reverse 
proxy.  i issue X.509 client-side certs with this CA for programming API access 
authentication.  Now i am contemplating the implementation of some simple 
home-brewed CRL-like revocation mechanism.   Obviously that requires my node.js 
program to inspect the serial number of the X.509 cert the client presents.   

However, it is not clear to me what the best way is to get the serial number of 
the X.509 cert presented for the incoming request.   i've been using the 
following:
   req.connection.getPeerCertificate().subject
to retrieve subjects but i don't know where to find the serial number of a cert.

Thanks.
