# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_CAINFO - path to Certificate Authority (CA) bundle
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CAINFO, char *path);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a char pointer to a null-terminated string naming a file holding one or
|
|
more certificates to verify the peer with.
|
|
|
|
If CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) is zero and you avoid verifying the
|
|
server's certificate, CURLOPT_CAINFO(3) need not even indicate an
|
|
accessible file.
|
|
|
|
This option is by default set to the system path where libcurl's CA
|
|
certificate bundle is assumed to be stored, as established at build time.
|
|
|
|
(iOS and macOS) When curl uses Secure Transport this option is supported. If
|
|
the option is not set, then curl uses the certificates in the system and user
|
|
Keychain to verify the peer.
|
|
|
|
(Schannel) This option is supported for Schannel in Windows 7 or later but we
|
|
recommend not using it until Windows 8 since it works better starting then.
|
|
If the option is not set, then curl uses the certificates in the Windows'
|
|
store of root certificates (the default for Schannel).
|
|
|
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
The default value for this can be figured out with CURLINFO_CAINFO(3).
|
|
|
|
# DEFAULT
|
|
|
|
Built-in system specific. When curl is built with Secure Transport or
|
|
Schannel, this option is not set by default.
|
|
|
|
# PROTOCOLS
|
|
|
|
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
|
|
|
|
# EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
int main(void)
|
|
{
|
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
|
if(curl) {
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
|
|
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "/etc/certs/cabundle.pem");
|
|
curl_easy_perform(curl);
|
|
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# AVAILABILITY
|
|
|
|
For the SSL engines that do not support certificate files the
|
|
CURLOPT_CAINFO(3) option is ignored. Schannel support added in libcurl
|
|
7.60.
|
|
|
|
# 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.
