.TH CURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT_BLOB 3 "November 04, 2020" "libcurl 7.78.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"

.SH NAME
CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT_BLOB \- proxy issuer SSL certificate from memory blob
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT_BLOB,
                          struct curl_blob *blob);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a curl_blob struct, which contains information (pointer and
size) about a memory block with binary data of a CA certificate in PEM
format. If the option is set, an additional check against the peer certificate
is performed to verify the issuer of the the HTTPS proxy is indeed the one
associated with the certificate provided by the option. This additional check
is useful in multi-level PKI where one needs to enforce that the peer
certificate is from a specific branch of the tree.

This option should be used in combination with the
\fICURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP option. Otherwise, the result of the
check is not considered as failure.

A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR) is defined with the option,
which is returned if the setup of the SSL/TLS session has failed due to a
mismatch with the issuer of peer certificate
(\fICURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP has to be set too for the check to
fail).

If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob set to
CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer around after
setting this.

This option is an alternative to \fICURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT(3)\fP which
instead expects a file name as input.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL
.SH PROTOCOLS
All TLS-based protocols
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  struct curl_blob blob;
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
  /* using an HTTPS proxy */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://localhost:443");
  blob.data = certificateData;
  blob.len = filesize;
  blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_ISSUERCERT_BLOB, &blob);
  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in libcurl 7.71.0. This option is supported by the OpenSSL backends.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
