CURLOPT_HSTS(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_HSTS(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_HSTS - HSTS cache filename
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HSTS, char *filename);
DESCRIPTION
Make the filename point to a filename to load an existing HSTS cache
from, and to store the cache in when the easy handle is closed. Setting
a file name with this option also enables HSTS for this handle (the
equivalent of setting CURLHSTS_ENABLE with CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3)).
If the given file does not exist or contains no HSTS entries at
startup, the HSTS cache simply starts empty. Setting the filename to
NULL or "" only enables HSTS without reading from or writing to any
file.
If this option is set multiple times, libcurl loads cache entries from
each given file but only stores the last used name for later writing.
FILE FORMAT
The HSTS cache is saved to and loaded from a text file with one entry
per physical line. Each line in the file has the following format:
[host] [stamp]
[host] is the domain name for the entry and the name is dot-prefixed if
it is an entry valid for all subdomains to the name as well or only for
the exact name.
[stamp] is the time (in UTC) when the entry expires and it uses the
format "YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS".
Lines starting with "#" are treated as comments and are ignored. There
is currently no length or size limit.
DEFAULT
NULL, no filename
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects http only
