Regarding: https://superuser.com/questions/284150/how-to-add-self-signed-certificates-to-different-browsers - this is about the "-i [filename]" part (how to get the file generated).

Q: How can I modify this oneliner to only OUTPUT the PUBLIC key?

linux https sed

    Just add 2>&1 to the openssl command in the pipe to make it redirect standard error to standard output - the output you're seeing is actually going to standard error right now, so sed doesn't process it as it should. This works:

    $ echo QUIT | openssl s_client -connect mail.google.com:443 2>&1| sed -ne '/BEGIN CERT/,/END CERT/p'

  2. There are many ways to do this. Depending on circumstances, either may be preferable. I think the most straight-forward (if not the shortest) approach is simply something like:

    ... | (while read l ; do [ "$l" != "DONE" ] || break ; done ; cat)
