.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long with a bitmask to tell libcurl about specific SSL
behaviors. Available bits:
.IP CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST
Tells libcurl to not attempt to use any workarounds for a security flaw in the
SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. If this option is not used or this bit is set to 0,
the SSL layer libcurl uses may use a work-around for this flaw although it
might cause interoperability problems with some (older) SSL implementations.
WARNING: avoiding this work-around lessens the security, and by setting this
option to 1 you ask for exactly that. This option is only supported for
Secure Transport and OpenSSL.
.IP CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE
Tells libcurl to disable certificate revocation checks for those SSL backends
where such behavior is present. This option is only supported for Schannel
(the native Windows SSL library), with an exception in the case of Windows'
Untrusted Publishers block list which it seems cannot be bypassed. (Added in
7.44.0)
.IP CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN
Tells libcurl to not accept "partial" certificate chains, which it otherwise
does by default. This option is only supported for OpenSSL and fails the
certificate verification if the chain ends with an intermediate certificate
and not with a root cert. (Added in 7.68.0)
schannel: add "best effort" revocation check option - Implement new option CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT and --ssl-revoke-best-effort to allow a "best effort" revocation check. A best effort revocation check ignores errors that the revocation check was unable to take place. The reasoning is described in detail below and discussed further in the PR. --- When running e.g. with Fiddler, the schannel backend fails with an unhelpful error message: Unknown error (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate. Sadly, many enterprise users who are stuck behind MITM proxies suffer the very same problem. This has been discussed in plenty of issues: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3727, https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/264, for example. In the latter, a Microsoft Edge developer even made the case that the common behavior is to ignore issues when a certificate has no recorded distribution point for revocation lists, or when the server is offline. This is also known as "best effort" strategy and addresses the Fiddler issue. Unfortunately, this strategy was not chosen as the default for schannel (and is therefore a backend-specific behavior: OpenSSL seems to happily ignore the offline servers and missing distribution points). To maintain backward-compatibility, we therefore add a new flag (`CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT`) and a new option (`--ssl-revoke-best-effort`) to select the new behavior. Due to the many related issues Git for Windows and GitHub Desktop, the plan is to make this behavior the default in these software packages. The test 2070 was added to verify this behavior, adapted from 310.

2020-02-26 18:24:26 +08:00
.IP CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT
Tells libcurl to ignore certificate revocation checks in case of missing or
offline distribution points for those SSL backends where such behavior is
present. This option is only supported for Schannel (the native Windows SSL
library). If combined with \fICURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE\fP, the latter takes
precedence. (Added in 7.70.0)
.IP CURLSSLOPT_NATIVE_CA
Tell libcurl to use the operating system's native CA store for certificate
verification. If you set this option and also set a CA certificate file or
directory then during verification those certificates are searched in addition
to the native CA store.
Works with wolfSSL on Windows, Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora, RHEL),
macOS, Android and iOS (added in 8.3.0), with GnuTLS (added in 8.5.0) or on
Windows when built to use OpenSSL (Added in 7.71.0).
.IP CURLSSLOPT_AUTO_CLIENT_CERT
Tell libcurl to automatically locate and use a client certificate for
authentication, when requested by the server. This option is only supported
for Schannel (the native Windows SSL library). Prior to 7.77.0 this was the
default behavior in libcurl with Schannel. Since the server can request any
certificate that supports client authentication in the OS certificate store it
could be a privacy violation and unexpected.

With HTTPS proxies, it is possible to have two concurrent _nested_ SSL/TLS sessions: the "outer" one between the user agent and the proxy and the "inner" one between the user agent and the origin server (through the proxy). This change adds supports for such nested sessions as well. A secure connection with a proxy requires its own set of the usual SSL options (their actual descriptions differ and need polishing, see TODO): --proxy-cacert FILE CA certificate to verify peer against --proxy-capath DIR CA directory to verify peer against --proxy-cert CERT[:PASSWD] Client certificate file and password --proxy-cert-type TYPE Certificate file type (DER/PEM/ENG) --proxy-ciphers LIST SSL ciphers to use --proxy-crlfile FILE Get a CRL list in PEM format from the file --proxy-insecure Allow connections to proxies with bad certs --proxy-key KEY Private key file name --proxy-key-type TYPE Private key file type (DER/PEM/ENG) --proxy-pass PASS Pass phrase for the private key --proxy-ssl-allow-beast Allow security flaw to improve interop --proxy-sslv2 Use SSLv2 --proxy-sslv3 Use SSLv3 --proxy-tlsv1 Use TLSv1 --proxy-tlsuser USER TLS username --proxy-tlspassword STRING TLS password --proxy-tlsauthtype STRING TLS authentication type (default SRP) All --proxy-foo options are independent from their --foo counterparts, except --proxy-crlfile which defaults to --crlfile and --proxy-capath which defaults to --capath. Curl now also supports %{proxy_ssl_verify_result} --write-out variable, similar to the existing %{ssl_verify_result} variable. Supported backends: OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and NSS. * A SOCKS proxy + HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination: If both --socks* and --proxy options are given, Curl first connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy. TODO: Update documentation for the new APIs and --proxy-* options. Look for "Added in 7.XXX" marks.
