I suppose this is a simple question ,but I’m not sure how to proceed.
I want to check if a given string is available on a certain https address via command line.

In fact I can use Internet Explorer as a https client with VBScript , but this is not an option when command must be executed on a remote machine and I have no alive UI session (mstsc/netmeeting and etc.)

So:

  1. I don’t care if the check is performed with vbs/powershell/external command line tools.

  2. I’ve exported certificate – so could I somehow use netcat+openSSL ?

  3. I’ve tried to download the content of the page with bitsadmin to be used for further decryption but it didn’t work. Will be wget for windows more useful here?

    I get it.
    If anybody else need this here’s one way:

    1. You need a wget compiled with ssl client .Here you have one option:
      http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/

    2.You need extracted certificate for the needed site.Here’s explained how this can be done with internet explorer:

    3.After you have imported the certificate to a some file you can execute following command:

    wget --secure-protocol=auto --no-check-certificate --certificate=C:\file.cer  https://address

    and this will download the page content
