Is there a way to use http-access2 to obtain the peer’s SSL  
certificate?

I can do this with net/http:

https = Net::HTTP.new(host, port)  
https.use\_ssl = true  
https.verify\_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY\_NONE  
cert = nil  
https.start { |h| cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(h.peer\_cert) }

# cert now contains the peer’s SSL certificate

Does http-access2 have something similar?

Thanks,  
Dennis

No choice but to use (awful) verify\_callback. It must be doable. I’ll  
add it.
