Thankx a lot Peter This works fine.
But as you mentioned this is not possible with the older series browsers. So I just tried to fetch the certificate when "http-on- examine-response" is fired. I could fetch the certificates of all the internal domains. So can this be used as such or still I need to use the nsITracableChannel due to some other controversies. Will there be any problems in querying the nsISSLStatus interface within "http-on-examine-response" ? regards Arun On Jun 26, 8:08 pm, Peter Djalaliev <peter.djalal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Arun, > > One way is to register a nsIStreamListener using the > nsITraceableChannel interface of the HTTP channel.
