Require certificate

Hi,

I have a small app used by road warriors. Part of this app includes a download of updated information that occurs when they first start the app. I use certificates/SSL but for added security I would like to require that the certificate be installed before any download can take place.

I tried the "RequireCertficiate" directive in Apache, but that resulted in the webpage displaying a dialog for the user to pick the certificate - not exactly desirable and it didn't show the cert that the app needed as an option anyway (guessing that I've done something wrong with the config).

For this to work the way I envision it, a computer that has the cert in its store would connect seamlessly, while a computer without the cert would get a "Page Not Found" error. Any suggestions?

Thanks...
