NAME

       CURLOPT_CRLFILE - specify a Certificate Revocation List file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CRLFILE, char *file);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a char * to a zero terminated string naming a file with the concatenation of CRL (in
       PEM format) to use in the certificate validation that occurs during the SSL exchange.

       When curl is built to use NSS or 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.

       This  option  makes sense only when used in combination with the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)
       option.

       A specific error code (CURLE_SSL_CRL_BADFILE) is defined with the option. It  is  returned
       when  the  SSL  exchange  fails  because  the  CRL  file  cannot  be loaded.  A failure in
       certificate verification due to a revocation information found in the CRL does not trigger
       this specific error.

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

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS

       All TLS-based protocols

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CRLFILE, "/etc/certs/crl.pem");
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.19.0

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.
