curlopt_sslkeytype(3) [mojave man page]

CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					     CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE - set type of the private key file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE, char *type);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be the format of your private key. Supported formats are "PEM",
       "DER" and "ENG".

       The format "ENG" enables you to load the private key from a crypto engine. In this case CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) is used as an	identifier  passed
       to the engine. You have to set the crypto engine with CURLOPT_SSLENGINE(3).  "DER" format key file currently does not work because of a bug
       in OpenSSL.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

       "PEM"

PROTOCOLS

       All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

EXAMPLE

       TODO

AVAILABILITY

       If built TLS enabled.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.

NAME

       CURLOPT_SSLKEY - specify private keyfile for TLS and SSL client cert

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, char *keyfile);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	pointer  to  a	zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be the file name of your private key. The default format is
       "PEM" and can be changed with CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3).

       (iOS and Mac OS X only) This option is ignored if curl was built against Secure Transport. Secure Transport expects the private key  to	be
       already present in the keychain or PKCS#12 file containing the certificate.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS
