How is it offered? I know there's a tool called curl that can download files
from several kinds of servers.

This question is in fact not at all curl or libcurl related, but anyway...

You used to be able to export certificates from Netscape and I assumed
Mozilla/Firefox can do that too. But I can't find any such option in my
Firefox... I might be blind though.

Such exported certs used to be PCKS#12 formatted which can be converted to PEM
using the openssl tool:

  openssl pkcs12 -clcerts -nokeys -in cert.p12 -out usercert.pem
  openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -in cert.p12 -out userkey.pem

(assuming cert.p12 is the exported plain certificate, but I would assume CA
cert converting would be similar)
