CURLOPT_CRLFILE(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_CRLFILE(3) NAME CURLOPT_CRLFILE - Certificate Revocation List file SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CRLFILE, char *file); DESCRIPTION Pass a char pointer to a null-terminated string naming a file with the concatenation of CRL (in PEM format) to use in the certificate valida- tion that occurs during the SSL exchange. When curl is built to use 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. Also note that CURLOPT_CRLFILE(3) implies CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN (see CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS(3)) since curl 7.71.0 due to an OpenSSL bug. This option makes sense only when used in combination with the CUR- LOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option. A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_CRL_BADFILE) is defined with the op- tion. It is returned when the SSL exchange fails because the CRL file cannot be loaded. A failure in certificate verification due to a revo- cation information found in the CRL does not trigger this specific er- ror. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again. DEFAULT NULL PROTOCOLS This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc. This option works only with the following TLS backends: GnuTLS, OpenSSL, mbedTLS and rustls EXAMPLE int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode res; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CRLFILE, "/etc/certs/crl.pem"); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.19.0 RETURN VALUE curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
