SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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

41           res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CERTINFO, &ci);
42
43           if (!res) {
44             printf("%d certs!\n", ci->num_of_certs);
45
46             for(i = 0; i < ci->num_of_certs; i++) {
47               struct curl_slist *slist;

49               for(slist = ci->certinfo[i]; slist; slist = slist->next)
50                 printf("%s\n", slist->data);
