CURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT(3) Library Functions Manual
NAME
CURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT - proxy issuer SSL certificate filename
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT, char *file);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a char pointer to a null-terminated string naming a file holding a
CA certificate in PEM format. If the option is set, an additional check
against the peer certificate is performed to verify the issuer of the
HTTPS proxy is indeed the one associated with the certificate provided
by the option. This additional check is useful in multi-level PKI where
one needs to enforce that the peer certificate is from a specific
branch of the tree.
This option makes sense only when used in combination with the
CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option. Otherwise, the result of the
check is not considered as failure.
A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR) is defined with the
option, which is returned if the setup of the SSL/TLS session has
failed due to a mismatch with the issuer of peer certificate
(CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) has to be set too for the check to
fail).
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.
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: GnuTLS and
OpenSSL
EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
/* using an HTTPS proxy */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://localhost:443");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT, "/etc/certs/cacert.pem");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.71.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if
not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
