CURLOPT_PROXY_CRLFILE(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options					  CURLOPT_PROXY_CRLFILE(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_PROXY_CRLFILE - specify a proxy Certificate Revocation List file SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_CRLFILE, char *file); DESCRIPTION
This option is for connecting to a HTTPS proxy, not a HTTPS server. Pass a char * to a zero terminated string naming a file with the concatenation of CRL (in PEM format) to use in the certificate validation that occurs during the SSL exchange. When curl is built to use NSS or GnuTLS, there is no way to influence the use of CRL passed to help in the verification process. When libcurl is built with OpenSSL support, X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK and X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK_ALL are both set, requiring CRL check against all the elements of the certificate chain if a CRL file is passed. This option makes sense only when used in combination with the CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option. A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_CRL_BADFILE) is defined with the option. It is returned when the SSL exchange fails because the CRL file cannot be loaded. A failure in certificate verification due to a revocation information found in the CRL does not trigger this specific error. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. DEFAULT

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. DEFAULT
