CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEYTYPE(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME


CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEYTYPE - type of the proxy private key file

SYNOPSIS


#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEYTYPE, char *type);

DESCRIPTION


This option is for connecting to an HTTPS proxy, not an HTTPS server.

Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string
should be the format of your private key. Supported formats are
"PEM", "DER", "ENG" and "PROV" (the latter added in curl 8.12.0).

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.

PROTOCOLS


This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS,
IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

This option works only with the following TLS backends: BearSSL,
OpenSSL 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_SSLKEYTYPE, "PEM");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}

AVAILABILITY
