Yeah, same idea, I haven't stayed on top of curl and so forth.  I usually
use openssl for that:

   openssl s_client -connect www.paypal.com:443

This prints out the cert so you'd have to parse it in a separate step
(e.g. save it in a file first).  Anyway these are just dirty hacks,
but might be ok for this type of internal administrative purposes.
Otherwise use the real API.
