Re: regarding retrival of server certificate

As Joe already pointed out - use SSL - thats an easy and standard way to get a server certificate for validation and authentication.

You even have more control over the whole process by using the SslStream class in .NET 2.0

All other ways would involve an apache/OS specific way to transfer the cert to the client...

Are you using SSL? It takes care of that for you. If you want to do
something programmatic involving SSL and HTTP, use the HttpWebRequest
class in .NET to access the Apache server. If you want to get
details of the server's certificate, you can create an instance of a
class that implements ICertificatePolicy and use the
CheckValidationResult to get the server's certificate during the SSL
handshake and check to see if it is valid.

HTH,
