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 will extract 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¶

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);
}
