CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB(3) Library Functions Manual
NAME
CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB - proxy Certificate Authority (CA) bundle in
PEM format
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB,
struct curl_blob *stblob);
DESCRIPTION
This option is for connecting to an HTTPS proxy, not an HTTPS server.
Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains information
(pointer and size) about a memory block with binary data of PEM encoded
content holding one or more certificates to verify the HTTPS proxy
with.
If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob
set to CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer
around after setting this.
If CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) is zero and you avoid verifying the
server's certificate, CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB(3) is not needed.
This option overrides CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO(3).
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS,
POP3S, SMTPS etc.
This option works only with the following TLS backends: OpenSSL,
Schannel, Secure Transport and rustls
EXAMPLE
#include <string.h> /* for strlen */
extern char *strpem; /* strpem must point to a PEM string */
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
struct curl_blob blob;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
/* using an HTTPS proxy */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://localhost:443");
blob.data = strpem;
blob.len = strlen(strpem);
blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB, &blob);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.77.0
RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred,
see libcurl-errors(3).
