Detect and extract SSL Cert Information

[forti]

I'm posting to a provider's web server and obtaining a URL for the SSL cert for this provider. I can manually expose the properties for the page and view the cert info, but I wish to programmatically validate the cert by checking the expiration date, the CA authority that issued the cert, and the URL for the cert. Is there a way to access the cert information via ASP, VBSCript, Javascript, IE scripting, etc. I would prefer doing this via ASP. Thank you.
