Hi 

I am getting following error when I try with wget

OpenSSL: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
Unable to establish SSL connection.

You could use OpenSSL to inspect it, but I suspect it would give you the same 
result.

Okay, great: you have a chain of certificates and could, with a bit of effort, 
convert that into a Java keystore or a PEM-encoded file for use with OpenSSL 
(and httpd, tcnative, etc.).

Without the private key, though, you aren't going to get very far. Go back to 
the client and tell them that you need that, too.
