.TH CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER \- verify the peer's SSL certificate
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, long verify);
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Pass a long as parameter to enable or disable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This option determines whether curl verifies the authenticity of the peer's
|
||
|
|
certificate. A value of 1 means curl verifies; 0 (zero) means it doesn't.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When negotiating a TLS or SSL connection, the server sends a certificate
|
||
|
|
indicating its identity. Curl verifies whether the certificate is authentic,
|
||
|
|
i.e. that you can trust that the server is who the certificate says it is.
|
||
|
|
This trust is based on a chain of digital signatures, rooted in certification
|
||
|
|
authority (CA) certificates you supply. curl uses a default bundle of CA
|
||
|
|
certificates (the path for that is determined at build time) and you can
|
||
|
|
specify alternate certificates with the \fICURLOPT_CAINFO(3)\fP option or the
|
||
|
|
\fICURLOPT_CAPATH(3)\fP option.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP is enabled, and the verification fails to
|
||
|
|
prove that the certificate is authentic, the connection fails. When the
|
||
|
|
option is zero, the peer certificate verification succeeds regardless.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Authenticating the certificate is not enough to be sure about the server. You
|
||
|
|
typically also want to ensure that the server is the server you mean to be
|
||
|
|
talking to. Use \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3)\fP for that. The check that the
|
||
|
|
host name in the certificate is valid for the host name you're connecting to
|
||
|
|
is done independently of the \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP option.
|
||
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
||
|
|
By default, curl assumes a value of 1.
|
||
|
|
.SH PROTOCOLS
|
||
|
|
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3, SMTPS etc.
|
||
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
||
|
|
TODO
|
||
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
||
|
|
If built TLS enabled.
|
||
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
|
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
