  23. .TH CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
  24. .SH NAME
  25. CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION \- SSL context callback for OpenSSL, wolfSSL or mbedTLS
  26. .SH SYNOPSIS
  27. .nf
  28. #include <curl/curl.h>
  29. CURLcode ssl_ctx_callback(CURL *curl, void *ssl_ctx, void *userptr);
  30. CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION,
  31. ssl_ctx_callback);
  32. .SH DESCRIPTION
  33. This option only works for libcurl powered by OpenSSL, wolfSSL or mbedTLS. If
  34. libcurl was built against another SSL library this functionality is absent.
  35. Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
  36. shown above.
  37. This callback function gets called by libcurl just before the initialization
  38. of an SSL connection after having processed all other SSL related options to
  39. give a last chance to an application to modify the behavior of the SSL
  40. initialization. The \fIssl_ctx\fP parameter is actually a pointer to the SSL
  41. library's \fISSL_CTX\fP for OpenSSL or wolfSSL, and a pointer to
  42. \fImbedtls_ssl_config\fP for mbedTLS. If an error is returned from the
  43. callback no attempt to establish a connection is made and the perform
  44. operation will return the callback's error code. Set the \fIuserptr\fP
  45. argument with the \fICURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA(3)\fP option.
  46. This function will get called on all new connections made to a server, during
  47. the SSL negotiation. The \fIssl_ctx\fP will point to a newly initialized object
  48. each time, but note the pointer may be the same as from a prior call.
  49. To use this properly, a non-trivial amount of knowledge of your SSL library is
  50. necessary. For example, you can use this function to call library-specific
  51. callbacks to add additional validation code for certificates, and even to
  52. change the actual URI of an HTTPS request.
  53. WARNING: The \fICURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION(3)\fP callback allows the application
  54. to reach in and modify SSL details in the connection without libcurl itself
  55. knowing anything about it, which then subsequently can lead to libcurl
  56. unknowingly reusing SSL connections with different properties. To remedy this
  57. you may set \fICURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3)\fP from the callback function.
  58. .SH DEFAULT
  59. NULL
  60. .SH PROTOCOLS
  61. All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
  62. .SH EXAMPLE
  63. See cacertinmem.c in docs/examples directory for usage example.
  64. https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/cacertinmem.html
  65. .SH AVAILABILITY
  66. Added in 7.11.0 for OpenSSL, in 7.42.0 for wolfSSL and in 7.54.0 for
  67. mbedTLS. Other SSL backends are not supported.
  68. .SH RETURN VALUE
  69. CURLE_OK if supported; or an error such as:
  70. CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN - Not supported by the SSL backend
  71. CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
