NAME
CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO - path to proxy Certificate Authority (CA) bundle
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO, char *path);
DESCRIPTION
This option is for connecting to an HTTPS proxy, not an HTTPS server.
Pass a char pointer to a null-terminated string naming a file holding one or more certificates to verify the HTTPS proxy with.
If CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) is zero and you avoid verifying the server's certificate, CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO(3) need not even indicate an accessible file.
This option is by default set to the system path where libcurl's CA certificate bundle is assumed to be stored, as established at build time.
(iOS and macOS only) If curl is built against Secure Transport, then this option is supported for backward compatibility with other SSL engines, but it should not be set. If the option is not set, then curl uses the certificates in the system and user Keychain to verify the peer, which is the preferred method of verifying the peer's certificate chain.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.
The default value for this can be figured out with CURLINFO_CAINFO(3).
DEFAULT
Built-in system specific
PROTOCOLS
Used with HTTPS proxy
EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
/* using an HTTPS proxy */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://localhost:443");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO, "/etc/certs/cabundle.pem");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.52.0
For TLS backends that do not support certificate files, the CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO(3) option is ignored. Refer to https://curl.se/docs/ssl-compared.html
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.
