Yes, in the helpfile. It is quite short so I shall copy it in this message
below. If this is not simple enough then .. I really don't know, sorry!

I have two "manual.txt" files, one that came with my curl package and one
that came from curl itself by running it with the -M switch.

The following quote is from the longer of the two files (which I think is
the one that came out of curl itself, I cannot remember..)

<quote>
  To use OpenSSL to convert your favourite browser's certificate into a PEM
  formatted one that curl can use, do something like this (assuming
netscape,
  but IE is likely to work similarly):

    You start with hitting the 'security' menu button in netscape.

    Select 'certificates->yours' and then pick a certificate in the list

    Press the 'export' button

    enter your PIN code for the certs

    select a proper place to save it

    Run the 'openssl' application to convert the certificate. If you cd to
the
    openssl installation, you can do it like:

     # ./apps/openssl pkcs12 -in [file you saved] -clcerts -out [PEMfile]
