.TH CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST \- verify the certificate's name against host
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, long verify);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a long as parameter specifying what to \fIverify\fP.
|
|
|
|
This option determines whether libcurl verifies that the server cert is for
|
|
the server it is known as.
|
|
|
|
When negotiating TLS and SSL connections, the server sends a certificate
|
|
indicating its identity.
|
|
|
|
When \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3)\fP is 2, that certificate must indicate that
|
|
the server is the server to which you meant to connect, or the connection
|
|
fails. Simply put, it means it has to have the same name in the certificate as
|
|
is in the URL you operate against.
|
|
|
|
Curl considers the server the intended one when the Common Name field or a
|
|
Subject Alternate Name field in the certificate matches the host name in the
|
|
URL to which you told Curl to connect.
|
|
|
|
When the \fIverify\fP value is 1, \fIcurl_easy_setopt\fP will return an error
|
|
and the option value will not be changed. It was previously (in 7.28.0 and
|
|
earlier) a debug option of some sorts, but it is no longer supported due to
|
|
frequently leading to programmer mistakes. Future versions will stop returning
|
|
an error for 1 and just treat 1 and 2 the same.
|
|
|
|
When the \fIverify\fP value is 0, the connection succeeds regardless of the
|
|
names in the certificate. Use that ability with caution!
|
|
|
|
The default value for this option is 2.
|
|
|
|
This option controls checking the server's certificate's claimed identity.
|
|
The server could be lying. To control lying, see
|
|
\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP. If libcurl is built against NSS and
|
|
\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP is zero, \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3)\fP is
|
|
also set to zero and cannot be overridden.
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
|
2
|
|
.SH PROTOCOLS
|
|
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3, SMTPS etc.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
TODO
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
If built TLS enabled.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
|
|
|
|
If 1 is set as argument, \fICURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT\fP is returned.
