NAME

       CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER - verify the proxy's SSL certificate

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER, long verify);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a long as parameter set to 1L to enable or 0L to disable.

       This  option  tells curl to verifies the authenticity of the HTTPS proxy's certificate. A value of 1 means curl verifies; 0 (zero) means it
       doesn't.

       This is the proxy version of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) that's used for ordinary HTTPS servers.

       When negotiating a TLS or SSL connection, the server sends a certificate indicating its identity. Curl verifies whether the certificate	is
       authentic,  i.e.  that  you  can trust that the server is who the certificate says it is.  This trust is based on a chain of digital signa-
       tures, rooted in certification authority (CA) certificates you supply.  curl uses a default bundle of CA certificates (the path for that is
       determined at build time) and you can specify alternate certificates with the CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO(3) option or the CURLOPT_PROXY_CAPATH(3)
       option.

       When CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) is enabled, and the verification fails to prove that the  certificate  is  authentic,  the	connection
       fails.  When the option is zero, the peer certificate verification succeeds regardless.

       Authenticating  the  certificate is not enough to be sure about the server. You typically also want to ensure that the server is the server
       you mean to be talking to.  Use CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3) for that. The check that the host name in the certificate is valid for  the
       host name you're connecting to is done independently of the CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option.

       WARNING: disabling verification of the certificate allows bad guys to man-in-the-middle the communication without you knowing it. Disabling
       verification makes the communication insecure. Just having encryption on a transfer is not enough as you cannot be sure that you are commu-
       nicating with the correct end-point.
