# NAME

|
CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER - verify the proxy's SSL certificate
|
||
|

|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~c
|
||
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER,
|
||
|
|
long verify);

# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pass a long as parameter set to 1L to enable or 0L to disable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This option tells curl to verify the authenticity of the HTTPS proxy's
|
||
|
|
certificate. A value of 1 means curl verifies; 0 (zero) means it does not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the proxy version of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) that is used for
|
||
|
|
ordinary HTTPS servers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When negotiating a TLS or SSL connection, the server sends a certificate
|
||
|
|
indicating its identity. Curl verifies whether the certificate is authentic,
|
||
|
|
i.e. that you can trust that the server is who the certificate says it is.
|
||
|
|
This trust is based on a chain of digital signatures, rooted in certification
|
||
|
|
authority (CA) certificates you supply. curl uses a default bundle of CA
|
||
|
|
certificates (the path for that is determined at build time) and you can
|
||
|
|
specify alternate certificates with the CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO(3) option or
|
||
|
|
the CURLOPT_PROXY_CAPATH(3) option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) is enabled, and the verification
|
||
|
|
fails to prove that the certificate is authentic, the connection fails. When
|
||
|
|
the option is zero, the peer certificate verification succeeds regardless.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Authenticating the certificate is not enough to be sure about the server. You
|
||
|
|
typically also want to ensure that the server is the server you mean to be
|
||
|
|
talking to. Use CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3) for that. The check that the
|
||
|
|
hostname in the certificate is valid for the hostname you are connecting to is
|
||
|
|
done independently of the CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WARNING: disabling verification of the certificate allows bad guys to
|
||
|
|
man-in-the-middle the communication without you knowing it. Disabling
|
||
|
|
verification makes the communication insecure. Just having encryption on a
|
||
|
|
transfer is not enough as you cannot be sure that you are communicating with
|
||
|
|
the correct end-point.
