NAME

CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERTTYPE - type of the proxy client SSL certificate  

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERTTYPE, char *type);

 

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string should be the format of your client certificate used when connecting to an HTTPS proxy.

Supported formats are "PEM" and "DER", except with Schannel. OpenSSL and Schannel support "P12" for PKCS#12-encoded files.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.  

DEFAULT

"PEM"  

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

This option works only with the following TLS backends: GnuTLS, OpenSSL, Schannel, mbedTLS and wolfSSL  

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://proxy.example");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERTTYPE, "PEM");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

 

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.52.0  

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
