CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB(3)              libcurl             CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB - private key for client cert from memory blob


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB,
                                 struct curl_blob *blob);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains information
       (pointer and size) for a private key. Compatible with OpenSSL. The
       format (like "PEM") must be specified with CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3).

       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 CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) which instead
       expects a file name as input.


DEFAULT

       NULL


PROTOCOLS

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


EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         struct curl_blob blob;
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
         blob.data = certificateData;
         blob.len = filesize;
         blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB, &blob);
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, "PEM");

         blob.data = privateKeyData;
         blob.len = privateKeySize;
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB, &blob);
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE, "PEM");
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }


AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.71.0. This option is supported by the OpenSSL backends.


RETURN VALUE

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