If the option is set, an additional check against the peer certificate 37 is performed to verify the issuer is indeed the one associated with the 38 certificate provided by the option. This additional check is useful in 39 multi-level PKI where one needs to enforce that the peer certificate is from a 40 specific branch of the tree. 41 42 This option should be used in combination with the 43 CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option. Otherwise, the result of the check is 44 not considered as failure. 45 46 A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR) is defined with the option, 47 which is returned if the setup of the SSL/TLS session has failed due to a 48 mismatch with the issuer of peer certificate (CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) 49 has to be set too for the check to fail). 50 51 If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob set to 52 CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer around after 53 setting this. 54 55 This option is an alternative to CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT(3) which instead 56 expects a filename as input. 57 58 # DEFAULT 59 60 NULL 61 62 # %PROTOCOLS% 63 64 # EXAMPLE 65 66 ~~~c 67 68 extern char *certificateData; 69 extern size_t filesize; 70 71 int main(void) 72 { 73 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 74 if(curl) { 75 CURLcode res; 76 struct curl_blob blob; 77 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); 78 blob.data = certificateData; 79 blob.len = filesize; 80 blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY; 81 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT_BLOB, &blob); 82 res = curl_easy_perform(curl); 83 curl_easy_cleanup(curl); 84 } 85 } 86 ~~~ 87 88 # %AVAILABILITY% 89 90 # RETURN VALUE 91 92 curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. 93 94 CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see 95 libcurl-errors(3).
