D:\cURL\ssl>

I am using curl-7.10.3 ssl version under Win32.

Here is how I generate mycert.pem from SSL certificate of web site
https://mydomain.mycompany.com:
(a) Open up https://mydomain.mycompany.com using MSIE 5.5
(b) Double click on the lock sign on MSIE status bar
(c) Click on Details tab
(d) Click on “Copy to File” button
(e) Click on Next on Certificate Export Wizard window
(f) Select “Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER)” and then click on Next
(g) Enter d:\mycert.cer into file name input area
(h) Press Finish button to complete exporting certificate
(i) and finally use openssl to generte mycert.pem file
openssl x509 -in mycert.cer -outform PEM -out mycert.pem

What am I doing wrong here? Can anybody tell me how to get .pem file
from IIS or the secure site itself?

By the way, when I turn off cURL’s certificate verification
(by using -k option instead of –cacert), the above cURL command
runs with no errors.

Thanks a lot,
