NAME

6       CURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT - proxy issuer SSL certificate filename

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass a char * to a null-terminated string naming a file  holding  a  CA
16       certificate  in  PEM  format. If the option is set, an additional check
17       against the peer certificate is performed to verify the issuer  of  the
18       the  HTTPS proxy is indeed the one associated with the certificate pro‐
19       vided by the option.  This additional check is  useful  in  multi-level
20       PKI where one needs to enforce that the peer certificate is from a spe‐
21       cific branch of the tree.
22
23       This option makes sense only when used in  combination  with  the  CUR‐
24       LOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option. Otherwise, the result of the check
25       is not considered as failure.
26
27       A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR) is defined with the  op‐
28       tion,  which is returned if the setup of the SSL/TLS session has failed
29       due  to  a  mismatch  with  the  issuer  of  peer   certificate   (CUR‐
30       LOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) has to be set too for the check to fail).
31
32       The  application  does not have to keep the string around after setting
33       this option.

EXAMPLE

42       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
43       if(curl) {
44         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
45         /* using an HTTPS proxy */
46         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://localhost:443");
47         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT, "/etc/certs/cacert.pem");
48         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
49         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
50       }

AVAILABILITY

53       Added in libcurl 7.71.0. This option is supported by the OpenSSL  back‐
54       ends.
55

RETURN VALUE

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