Manpages - CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB.3

CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB - Certificate Authority (CA) bundle in PEM format

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB, struct curl_blob *stblob);

Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains information (pointer and size) about a memory block with binary data of PEM encoded content holding one or more certificates to verify the HTTPS server with.

If CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) is zero and you avoid verifying the server’s certificate, CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB(3) is not needed.

This option overrides CURLOPT_CAINFO(3).

NULL

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

  char *strpem; /* strpem must point to a PEM string */
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    struct curl_blob blob;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    blob.data = strpem;
    blob.len = strlen(strpem);
    blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB, &blob);
    ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }

Added in 7.77.0.

This option is supported by the BearSSL (since 7.79.0), OpenSSL, Secure Transport and Schannel backends.

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
