NAME¶

CURLINFO_CERTINFO - get the TLS certificate chain

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CERTINFO,
struct curl_certinfo **chainp);

DESCRIPTION¶

Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_certinfo *' and you'll get it set to point to a struct that holds a number of linked lists with info about the certificate chain, assuming you had CURLOPT_CERTINFO(3) enabled when the request was made. The struct reports how many certs it found and then you can extract info for each of those certs by following the linked lists. The info chain is provided in a series of data in the format "name:content" where the content is for the specific named data. See also the certinfo.c example.

PROTOCOLS¶

All TLS-based

EXAMPLE¶

curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {


  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) {


      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);
}
