CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME


CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY - private key file for HTTPS proxy client cert

SYNOPSIS


#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY, char *keyfile);

DESCRIPTION


Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string
should be the filename of your private key used for connecting to the
HTTPS proxy. The default format is "PEM" and can be changed with
CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEYTYPE(3).

(Windows, iOS and macOS) This option is ignored by Secure Transport
and Schannel SSL backends because they expect the private key to be
already present in the key chain or PKCS#12 file containing the
certificate.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.

Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override
the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

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, mbedTLS and wolfSSL

EXAMPLE


int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://proxy");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
