Determining SSL Authenticity

[Andre Garzia]

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... :-)
