    How to Get a Certificate PEM

    You can extract a certificate from a website using OpenSSL:

    openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com < /dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509

    Or export it from your browser by clicking the padlock icon and viewing certificate details.
