Yes, thanks Egbert, I get the certificate. It's just that in
ASP/VBScript I can't decode it properly from binary form and in
ASP/JScript I don't know what to do with the received object at all. I
have no problems in .NET/C#, but I'd prefer to have one simple file for
that as the rest of the application is CGI. Or be able to load the
certificate from CGI, if that's possible.

Here's a snip of my working C# piece:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
     byte[] content = Request.ClientCertificate.Certificate;
     string certificate =
         "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----<br/>" +
         wrap(System.Convert.ToBase64String(content), 64) + "<br/>" +
         "-----END CERTIFICATE-----<br/>";

     Response.Write(certificate);
}
