curl_easy_ssls_import(3) Library Functions Manual curl_easy_ssls_import(3)

curl_easy_ssls_export - export SSL sessions

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_ssls_import(CURL *handle,
                               const char *session_key,
                               const unsigned char *shmac, size_t shmac_len,
                               const unsigned char *sdata, size_t sdata_len);

This function imports a previously exported SSL session ticket. sdata and sdata_len must always be provided. If session_key is NULL, then shmac and shmac_len must be given as received during the export. See curl_easy_ssls_export(3) for a description of those.

Import of session tickets from other curl versions may fail due to changes in the handling of shmac or sdata. A session ticket which has already expired is silently discarded.

This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

This option works only with the following TLS backends: BearSSL, GnuTLS, OpenSSL, mbedTLS and wolfSSL

int main(void)
{
  CURLSHcode sh;
  CURLSH *share = curl_share_init();
  CURLcode rc;
  CURL *curl;
  sh = curl_share_setopt(share, CURLSHOPT_SHARE, CURL_LOCK_DATA_SSL_SESSION);
  if(sh)
    printf("Error: %s\n", curl_share_strerror(sh));
  curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    unsigned char *shmac, *sdata;
    size_t hlen, slen;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SHARE, share);
    /* read shmac and sdata from storage */
    rc = curl_easy_ssls_import(curl, NULL, shmac, hlen, sdata, slen);
    /* always cleanup */
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
  curl_share_cleanup(share);
}

Added in curl 8.12.0

This function returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3). If CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER(3) was set with curl_easy_setopt(3) there can be an error message stored in the error buffer when non-zero is returned.
