Hi,

 
In Hobbit, for https:// testing, it'll also get server certificate and
check the expiration if we defined. The question I have is: how to let
Hobbit validate the server certificate? I want it to send alerts if no
certificate or have incorrect one.

 
Thanks,

Samuel Cai

Hi,

 
I checked source codes, seems it's impossible to validate certificates
in Hobbit.

So I think the only way is enhancing Hobbit, while I'm not familiar with
C, it will take me too much time to learn and then modify.

If there's already a path, please help share it.

 
Thanks,

Samuel Cai
