CURLOPT_SSL_EC_CURVES3
Key exchange curves
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_EC_CURVES, char *list);
Overview
Pass a string as parameter with a colon delimited list of Elliptic curve (EC) algorithms. This option defines the client's key exchange algorithms in the SSL handshake (if the SSL backend libcurl is built to use supports it).
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 restore back to internal default.
Default
"", embedded in SSL backend
Protocols
This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc. only
This option works only with the following TLS backends: OpenSSL and wolfSSL
Examples
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode result;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_EC_CURVES, "X25519:P-521");
result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
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).
