# gnutls\_certificate\_set\_ocsp\_status\_request\_file2(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_certificate\_set\_ocsp\_status\_request\_file2 - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/gnutls.h\>**

**int gnutls\_certificate\_set\_ocsp\_status\_request\_file2(gnutls\_certificate\_credentials\_t** *sc***, const char \*** *response\_file***, unsigned** *idx***, gnutls\_x509\_crt\_fmt\_t** *fmt***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_certificate\_credentials\_t sc

  is a credentials structure.

- const char \* response\_file

  a filename of the OCSP response

- unsigned idx

  is a certificate index as returned by **gnutls\_certificate\_set\_key()** and friends

- gnutls\_x509\_crt\_fmt\_t fmt

  is PEM or DER

## DESCRIPTION

This function loads the OCSP responses to be sent to the peer for the certificate chain specified by  *idx* . When  *fmt* is set to PEM, multiple responses can be loaded.

This function must be called after setting any certificates, and cannot be used for certificates that are provided via a callback -- that is when **gnutls\_certificate\_set\_retrieve\_function()** is used. In that case consider using **gnutls\_certificate\_set\_retrieve\_function3()**.

This function can be called multiple times when multiple responses applicable to the certificate chain are available. If the response provided does not match any certificates present in the chain, the code **GNUTLS\_E\_OCSP\_MISMATCH\_WITH\_CERTS** is returned. If the response is already expired at the time of loading the code **GNUTLS\_E\_EXPIRED** is returned.

## RETURNS

On success, the number of loaded responses is returned, otherwise a negative error code.

## SINCE

3\.1.3
