Get the Server Certificate from a TLS Connection

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.GetServerCert, which copies the certificate presented by the remote TLS server into a Cert object for inspection.

Background. The method returns false when the socket is not connected, is not using TLS, or no server certificate is available. Inspecting the certificate lets an application validate the server's identity.
