NAME

6       CURLOPT_CRLFILE - specify a Certificate Revocation List file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CRLFILE, char *file);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Pass  a  char * to a zero terminated string naming a file with the con‐
15       catenation of CRL (in PEM format) to use in the certificate  validation
16       that occurs during the SSL exchange.
17
18       When  curl  is built to use NSS or GnuTLS, there is no way to influence
19       the use of CRL passed to help in the verification process. When libcurl
20       is    built    with    OpenSSL   support,   X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK   and
21       X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK_ALL are both set, requiring CRL check against all
22       the elements of the certificate chain if a CRL file is passed.
23
24       This  option  makes  sense  only when used in combination with the CUR‐
25       LOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option.
26
27       A specific error  code  (CURLE_SSL_CRL_BADFILE)  is  defined  with  the
28       option. It is returned when the SSL exchange fails because the CRL file
29       cannot be loaded.  A failure in certificate verification due to a revo‐
30       cation  information  found  in  the  CRL does not trigger this specific
31       error.
32
33       The application does not have to keep the string around  after  setting
34       this option.

45         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
46         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CRLFILE, "/etc/certs/crl.pem");
47         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
