Revised the patch to always download the transport certificate (no local 
caching). Further optimization can be done later.

Subject: [PATCH] Added command to retrieve vault transport certificate.

A new command has been added to retrieve the vault transport
certificate and optionally save it into a file. The vault archive
and retrieve command has been modified to retrieve the transport
certificate and store it locally for subsequent usage. This way
it's no longer necessary to manually import the transport
certificate into the client's NSS database.
