Connect via SSL and retrieve a certificate from server

How can I connect to a Server via ssl ( like https ) and retrieve the certificate information from the server and store it prior to going forward with accessing a site. This would be much like connecting to a new https site for which you do not have a certificate. You would retrieve the certificate and go on with the process.

You should have a CA certificate for checking the server certificate to connect to an SSL server. The checking is performed by SecureBridge, you don't need to do it manually.

Is there a way to import a certificate on the fly much like one does with a web page and an https connection?

If you mean to save server certificate, you should handle the TScSSLClient.OnServerCertValidate event, and store the certificate, use the ServerCertificate.ExportTo method for example.
