# NAME
CURLOPT_USE_SSL - request using SSL / TLS for the transfer
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USE_SSL, long level);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a long using one of the values from below, to make libcurl use your
desired *level* of SSL for the transfer.
These are all protocols that start out plain text and get "upgraded" to SSL
using the STARTTLS command.
This is for enabling SSL/TLS when you use FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP etc.
## CURLUSESSL_NONE
do not attempt to use SSL.
## CURLUSESSL_TRY
Try using SSL, proceed as normal otherwise. Note that server may close the
connection if the negotiation does not succeed.
## CURLUSESSL_CONTROL
Require SSL for the control connection or fail with *CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED*.
## CURLUSESSL_ALL
Require SSL for all communication or fail with *CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED*.
# DEFAULT
CURLUSESSL_NONE
# PROTOCOLS
FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, LDAP
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/dir/file.ext");
/* require use of SSL for this, or fail */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USE_SSL, (long)CURLUSESSL_ALL);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
