CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY_BLOB(3)

CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY_BLOB3

Private key for proxy cert from memory blob

Usage

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY_BLOB,

struct curl_blob *blob);

Overview

Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure that contains information (pointer and size) about the private key for connecting to the HTTPS proxy. Compatible with OpenSSL. The format (like "PEM") must be specified with CURLOPT_PROXY_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.

Default

NULL

Protocols

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

Examples

extern char *certificateData; /* point to data */
extern size_t filesize; /* size of data */
extern char *privateKeyData; /* point to data */
extern size_t privateKeySize; /* size */
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    struct curl_blob blob;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://proxy");
    blob.data = certificateData;
    blob.len = filesize;
    blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERT_BLOB, &blob);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERTTYPE, "PEM");
    blob.data = privateKeyData;
    blob.len = privateKeySize;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY_BLOB, &blob);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

Return value

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