Get https server's cert common/alt names using Deno?
Pretty new to Deno but have been using Node for some years.
== Question 1:
I am trying to create a little Deno 2 tool that connects to a server on a specific host/port, then pulls down the server's TLS cert info and shows it to the user.
The cmoon and alt names are of particular interest.
I can get these by running openssl from command line (and via Node.js actually), but I eventually want to integrate this into a larger Deno app.
Seems the TlsConn interface lacks any connection/cert info..
Would this be possible using today's Deno?
Or are these low-level network features still on the todo list?
== Question 2:
When connecting to TLS protected servers it's of course important to connect using the correct hostnames, otherwise a warning will appear.
Now, we can disable this protection by specifying the option
--unsafely-ignore-certificate-errors at startup. Not pretty or good, but works. And useful sometimes in testing scenarios.
But is it possible to specify the same thing at run/connection time (i.e. not during startup)?
Seems not... but is that really the case?0 Replies
