CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_SSLKEY - private keyfile for TLS and SSL client cert
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, char *keyfile);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string
should be the file name of your private key. The default format is
"PEM" and can be changed with CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3).
(iOS and Mac OS X only) This option is ignored if curl was built
against Secure Transport. Secure Transport expects the private key to
be already present in the keychain or PKCS#12 file containing the cer-
tificate.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
If built TLS enabled.
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
