NAME

       CURLOPT_USE_SSL - request using SSL / TLS for the transfer

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USE_SSL, long level);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a long using one of the values from below, to make libcurl use your desired level of SSL for the transfer.

       These are all protocols that start out plain text and get "upgraded" to SSL using the STARTTLS command.

       This is for enabling SSL/TLS when you use FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP etc.

       CURLUSESSL_NONE
	      Don't attempt to use SSL.

       CURLUSESSL_TRY
	      Try using SSL, proceed as normal otherwise.

       CURLUSESSL_CONTROL
	      Require SSL for the control connection or fail with CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED.

       CURLUSESSL_ALL
	      Require SSL for all communication or fail with CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED.

DEFAULT

       CURLUSESSL_NONE

PROTOCOLS

       FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USE_SSL, CURLUSESSL_ALL);
