$urlresponse = $null
$response = $null
[Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}

$req = [Net.WebRequest]::CreateHttp($strURI)
$response = $req.GetResponse() ;
[System.IO.Stream]$datastream = $response.GetResponseStream()
$streamreader = New-Object  System.IO.StreamReader($datastream)
$urlresponse = $streamreader.ReadToEnd();
Write-Host $response.ProtocolVersion  -ForegroundColor Yellow
Write-Host $req.servicepoint.certificate.GetExpirationDateString()  -ForegroundColor Yellow
