CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE - type of client SSL certificate
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, char *type);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string should be the format of your certificate. Supported formats are "PEM" and "DER", except with Secure Transport or Schannel. OpenSSL (versions 0.9.3 and later), Secure Transport (on iOS 5 or later, or OS X 10.7 or later) and Schannel support "P12" for PKCS#12-encoded files. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.
DEFAULT
"PEM"
PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc. This option works only with the following TLS backends: GnuTLS, OpenSSL, Schannel, Secure Transport, mbedTLS and wolfSSL
EXAMPLE
int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, "client.pem"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, "PEM"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret"); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } }
AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.9.3
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
