NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode  curl_easy_setopt(CURL  *handle,  CURLOPT_CERTINFO, long cert‐
12       info);

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass a long set to 1 to enable libcurl's certificate chain  info  gath‐
16       erer.  With  this enabled, libcurl will extract lots of information and
17       data about the certificates in the certificate chain used  in  the  SSL
18       connection.  This  data  may  then  be retrieved after a transfer using
19       curl_easy_getinfo(3) and its option CURLINFO_CERTINFO(3).

31
32         /* connect to any HTTPS site, trusted or not */
33         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0L);
34         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0L);
35
36         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CERTINFO, 1L);
37
38         res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
39
40         if (!res) {
41           struct curl_certinfo *ci;
42           res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CERTINFO, &ci);
43
44           if (!res) {
45             printf("%d certs!\n", ci->num_of_certs);
46
47             for(i = 0; i < ci->num_of_certs; i++) {
48               struct curl_slist *slist;
49
50               for(slist = ci->certinfo[i]; slist; slist = slist->next)
51                 printf("%s\n", slist->data);
52             }
