CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION explained
Name
CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION - read callback for HSTS hosts
Synopsis
#include <curl/curl.h> struct curl_hstsentry { char *name; size_t namelen; unsigned int includeSubDomains:1; char expire[18]; /* YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS [null-terminated] */ }; CURLSTScode hstsread(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts, void *clientp); CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION, hstsread);
Description
Pass a pointer to your callback function, as the prototype shows above.
This callback function gets called by libcurl repeatedly when it populates the in-memory HSTS cache.
Set the clientp argument with the CURLOPT_HSTSREADDATA option or it is NULL.
When this callback is invoked, the sts pointer points to a populated struct: Copy the hostname to name (no longer than namelen bytes). Make it null-terminated. Set includeSubDomains to TRUE or FALSE. Set expire to a date stamp or a zero length string for forever (wrong date stamp format might cause the name to not get accepted)
The callback should return CURLSTS_OK if it returns a name and is prepared to be called again (for another host) or CURLSTS_DONE if it has no entry to return. It can also return CURLSTS_FAIL to signal error. Returning CURLSTS_FAIL stops the transfer from being performed and make CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK get returned.
This option does not enable HSTS, you need to use CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL to do that.
Default
NULL - no callback.
Protocols
This functionality affects http only
Example
struct priv { void *custom; }; static CURLSTScode hsts_cb(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts, void *clientp) { /* populate the struct as documented */ return CURLSTS_OK; } int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { struct priv my_stuff; CURLcode res; /* set HSTS read callback */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION, hsts_cb); /* pass in suitable argument to the callback */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSREADDATA, &my_stuff); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); } }
Availability
Added in curl 7.74.0
Return value
This returns CURLE_OK.
