NAME

CURLOPT_DOH_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS − verify the DoH SSL certificate's status

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DOH_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS,
long verify);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long as parameter set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable.

This option determines whether libcurl verifies the status of the DoH (DNS−over−HTTPS) server cert using the "Certificate Status Request" TLS extension (aka. OCSP stapling).

This option is the DoH equivalent of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS(3) and only affects requests to the DoH server.

If this option is enabled and the server does not support the TLS extension, the verification fails.

DEFAULT

0

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

This option works only with the following TLS backends: GnuTLS and OpenSSL

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DOH_URL,
"https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query");

/* Ask for OCSP stapling when verifying the DoH server */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DOH_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS, 1L);

curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.76.0

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).
