A couple of ways to look at web server HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificate data via the command line

inspect_https-tls-ssl_certs

# Inspecting HTTPS (TLS, SSL) certificates from the command line

I needed to inspect an HTTPS sites current certs and wanted to do it from the command line. Here are a couple of commands that I used that worked quite well.

## With cURL

```
curl -i --verbose https://[server URL]
```

cURL will report come certificate information in its versbose output when connecting to an HTTPS URL.

## With OpenSSL

```
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect [server domain name]:443
```

I like this method, becase OpenSSL will report a lot of details about the certificates, including the full CA chain, if available.
