Upload SSL keys/certs via iControl REST API?

Is there a PUT method (but I'll take a POST!) to upload SSL keys/certs into BigIP LTM 11.5? Im moving from ancient 9.4 code and would love to be able to pull down my keys and certs and upload them vi...

  1. Upload the certs and keys to the BIG-IP - some temporary directory will do.

  2. REST call to create certificate and key:

    curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/sys/crypto/cert -d '{"command":"install","name":"test","from-local-file":"/var/tmp/test.crt"}'

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/sys/crypto/key -d '{"command":"install","name":"test","from-local-file":"/var/tmp/test.key"}'

  3. Create the client SSL profile:

    curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/client-ssl -d '{"name":"test","cert":"test.crt","key":"test.key"}'
