> Currently if you hit the Knox metadata API, it will return the
> locally-configured Knox certificate. This works great if there is nothing
> between the client and Knox. When a LB is in the middle, the returned
> certificate is incorrect. The certificate that should be returned is one for
> the endpoint that is accessed. This means we should try to return the LB
> certificate if there is a LB.
> Since we know what URL was accessed to hit the metadata API, Knox itself
> should be able to grab the certificate chain for that host:port and return
> the PEM and JKS version of it. This will require basically doing an `openssl
> s_client -connect host:port` from Java and converting into the correct
> format. Conveniently, the Knox CLI has something like this today that
> downloads the Knox certificate. We should be able to reuse the same logic in
> the metadata API and return the correct certificate information.
