Provided by: libcurl4-doc_8.5.0-2ubuntu10.6_all bug

NAME

       CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 - MD5 checksum of SSH server public key

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5,
                                 char *md5);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a char * pointing to a string containing 32 hexadecimal digits. The string should be the 128 bit MD5
       checksum of the remote host's public key, and libcurl aborts the connection to the host  unless  the  MD5
       checksum match.

       MD5 is a weak algorithm. We strongly recommend using CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_SHA256(3) instead.

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

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS

       SCP and SFTP

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode res;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "sftp://example.com/file");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5,
                            "afe17cd62a0f3b61f1ab9cb22ba269a7");
           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.17.1

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.
