If you do not have the server's public key file you can extract it from the
server's certificate.

# retrieve the server's certificate if you don't already have it
#
# be sure to examine the certificate to see if it is what you expected
#
# Windows-specific:
# - Use NUL instead of /dev/null.
# - OpenSSL may wait for input instead of disconnecting. Hit enter.
# - If you don't have sed, then just copy the certificate into a file:
# Lines from -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- to -----END CERTIFICATE-----.

openssl s_client -servername www.test.com -connect www.test.com:443 < /dev/null | sed -n "/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/p" > www.test.com.pem
# extract public key in pem format from certificate
openssl x509 -in www.test.com.pem -pubkey -noout > www.test.com.pubkey.pem
