CURLINFO_CERTINFO(3) curl_easy_getinfo options CURLINFO_CERTINFO(3)
NAME
CURLINFO_CERTINFO - get the TLS certificate chain
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CERTINFO,
struct curl_certinfo **chainp);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_certinfo *' and you will get it set to
point to a struct that holds a number of linked lists with info about
the certificate chain, assuming you had CURLOPT_CERTINFO(3) enabled
when the request was made. The struct reports how many certs it found
and then you can extract info for each of those certs by following the
linked lists. The info chain is provided in a series of data in the
format "name:content" where the content is for the specific named data.
See also the certinfo.c example.
PROTOCOLS
All TLS-based
EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/");
/* connect to any HTTPS site, trusted or not */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0L);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0L);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CERTINFO, 1L);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if (!res) {
struct curl_certinfo *ci;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CERTINFO, &ci);
if (!res) {
printf("%d certs!\n", ci->num_of_certs);
for(i = 0; i < ci->num_of_certs; i++) {
struct curl_slist *slist;
for(slist = ci->certinfo[i]; slist; slist = slist->next)
printf("%s\n", slist->data);
}
}
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
