is there a way to download / export the actual Key / RSA Certificate files from BIG-IP, using the iControl REST?

I have managed it. I use sftp with the following url's 

/config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_key_d/
and 
/config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_d/
to download the keys and certificates. I use this in a .NET c application.

The only trick is to find the right file because of the postfix with a random number. You don't know this number after generation of the Key 

:Common:default.key_19751_1
.

anyway thanks for your help
