NAME¶

CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB - private key for client cert from memory blob

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB,


                          struct curl_blob *blob);

DESCRIPTION¶

Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains information (pointer and size) for a private key. Compatible with OpenSSL. The format (like "PEM") must be specified with CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3).

If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob set to CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer around after setting this.

This option is an alternative to CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) which instead expects a file name as input.

DEFAULT¶

NULL

PROTOCOLS¶

All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

EXAMPLE¶

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {


  struct curl_blob blob;


  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");


  blob.data = certificateData;


  blob.len = filesize;


  blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;


  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB, &blob);


  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, "PEM");


  blob.data = privateKeyData;


  blob.len = privateKeySize;


  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB, &blob);


  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");


  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE, "PEM");


  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);


  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

AVAILABILITY¶

Added in libcurl 7.71.0. This option is supported by the OpenSSL backends.

RETURN VALUE¶

Returns CURLE_OK if TLS enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
