Re: regarding retrival of server certificate

The first thing I would do is create an HttpWebRequest that attempts to
access your server and get the proxies working correctly by configuring the
Proxy property to work they way you need it to in your environment.

Once you can get the HttpWebRequest working and can get a response back,
then you can just add the ICertificatePolicy stuff. Basically, you just
create a class that implements ICertificatePolicy, create an instance of it
and then set the CertificatePolicy property on the ServicePointManager to
the instance of your class. Then, your CheckValidationResult method will be
called and the arguments of that function will contain the server
certificate.

You might also be able to get your SslStream approach to work by opening a
socket to the proxy server on the proxy server port, but I've never messed
with proxies at the TCP level before, so I don't know.

What have you tried so far? Do you want an example with SslStream or
with
HttpWebRequest and ICertificatePolicy? What language?

I think it might be better if you just try one of the samples for
SslStream
first to see if you can make any progress with it.

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,
