title: Writing a SSL Checker using Java
body: <p>Does anyone know of any good tutorials, sites, and or books on writing a SSL checker in Java? I'm trying to do what can be found here: <a href="http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html</a> .
  I'm not trying to create a self signed cert or use a a keystore. I want to be able to go out to any site determine if a valid SSL Certificate exists, determine if the hostname on the Cert matches the named entered, and determine when this Cert will expire. I have googled this topic but "How to create a SSL shopper using Java" hasn't yielded me anything and my other searches only brought me links on how to create a self-signed Cert. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
