Hiya,
You can request a certificate from the server and parse the results. A
sample of a certificate (current X.509 standard) is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509
Other than that you can probably obtain the appropriate documentation
from Certificate providers like Verisign and Thawte.
Note that most browsers come with root certificates pre-installed from
the major vendors (more info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_certificate) and they can be used to
validate some certificates.
Some companies generate their own certificates: In this instance you'd
have to make sure a trust is established on which you can then base
your checking.
Cheers,
Luis.

Andre,
Thank you so much for your response. I'm afraid I was a little
unclear as to my intentions. I am implementing altBrowser into one
of my projects, and unfortunately, altBrowser does not return whether
IE knows if the server is secure. I'm looking for a way of
determining this within Revolution so I can display that on the screen.
I just looked over the built-in documentation for SSL and couldn't
find much other than the encrypt and decrypt functions. I need a way
to determine if the url that altBrowser is looking at is actually
secure.
Any ideas? :)

Derek,
if the certificate is not valid, the SSL library will return you an
error. Actually, in some cases, it returns an error even for valid
certificates... I don't know if you can find the certificate
information from inside Rev, if you are using MacOS X then you can
use cURL or some other unixland tool to query the certificate data
but I never tried that.

PS: I simply feel like answering emails today... :-)

Does anyone know how to determine SSL authenticity. For example,
if I'm connected to "https://www.somedomain.com/securepage.php";,
other than the "s" after http, how can I find out the certificate
information?
Or do I just trust the fact that since the "s" is after "http" that
it's secure?
