CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB explained
Name
CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB - proxy Certificate Authority (CA) bundle in PEM format
Synopsis
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB, struct curl_blob *stblob);
Description
This option is for connecting to an HTTPS proxy, not an HTTPS server.
Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains information (pointer and size) about a memory block with binary data of PEM encoded content holding one or more certificates to verify the HTTPS proxy with.
If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob set to CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer around after setting this.
If CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER is zero and you avoid verifying the server's certificate, CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB is not needed.
This option overrides CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO.
Default
NULL
Protocols
This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
This option works only with the following TLS backends: OpenSSL, Schannel, Secure Transport and rustls
Example
#include <string.h> /* for strlen */ extern char *strpem; /* strpem must point to a PEM string */ int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; struct curl_blob blob; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); /* using an HTTPS proxy */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://localhost:443"); blob.data = strpem; blob.len = strlen(strpem); blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB, &blob); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } }
Availability
Added in curl 7.77.0
Return value
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
