I really don't understand why you would not expose all data in the certificate.

You mean, providing the entire certificate as a blob? That is planned (although perhaps not implemented).

Or do you mean "expose all data in a structured manner". BECAUSE IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. Sorry for shouting, but people don't ever get the notion of "extension".

It seems totally obvious. The data is there for a reason. I want the subjectAltName. Probably other people want other stuff. Why cripple it? Please include it all.

That's not possible. You can get the whole thing as a blob, and then you have to decode it yourself if something you want is not decoded.

Regards, Martin
