Tells curl to use the specified certificate file to verify the peer. The file
|
||
|
|
may contain multiple CA certificates. The certificate(s) must be in PEM
|
||
|
|
format. Normally curl is built to use a default file for this, so this option
|
||
|
|
is typically used to alter that default file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
curl recognizes the environment variable named 'CURL_CA_BUNDLE' if it is
|
||
|
|
set, and uses the given path as a path to a CA cert bundle. This option
|
||
|
|
overrides that variable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The windows version of curl automatically looks for a CA certs file named
|
||
|
|
'curl-ca-bundle.crt', either in the same directory as curl.exe, or in the
|
||
|
|
Current Working Directory, or in any folder along your PATH.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(iOS and macOS only) If curl is built against Secure Transport, then this
|
||
|
|
option is supported for backward compatibility with other SSL engines, but it
|
||
|
|
should not be set. If the option is not set, then curl uses the certificates
|
||
|
|
in the system and user Keychain to verify the peer, which is the preferred
|
||
|
|
method of verifying the peer's certificate chain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Schannel only) This option is supported for Schannel in Windows 7 or later
|
||
|
|
(added in 7.60.0). This option is supported for backward compatibility with
|
||
|
|
other SSL engines; instead it is recommended to use Windows' store of root
|
||
|
|
certificates (the default for Schannel).
