CURLOPT_CERTINFO(3) | Library Functions Manual | CURLOPT_CERTINFO(3) |
NAME
CURLOPT_CERTINFO - request SSL certificate information
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CERTINFO, long certinfo);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long set to 1 to enable libcurl's certificate chain info gatherer. With this enabled, libcurl extracts lots of information and data about the certificates in the certificate chain used in the SSL connection. This data may then be retrieved after a transfer using curl_easy_getinfo(3) and its option CURLINFO_CERTINFO(3).
DEFAULT
0
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 and Secure Transport
EXAMPLE
int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/"); /* connect to any HTTPS site, trusted or not */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0L); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0L); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CERTINFO, 1L); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); if(!res) { struct curl_certinfo *ci; res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CERTINFO, &ci); if(!res) { int i; printf("%d certs!\n", ci->num_of_certs); for(i = 0; i < ci->num_of_certs; i++) { struct curl_slist *slist; for(slist = ci->certinfo[i]; slist; slist = slist->next) printf("%s\n", slist->data); } } } curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } }
HISTORY
