.TH CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION \- openssl specific callback to do SSL magic
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode ssl_ctx_callback(CURL *curl, void *ssl_ctx, void *userptr);

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION,
                          ssl_ctx_callback);
.SH DESCRIPTION
This option only works for libcurl powered by OpenSSL. If libcurl was built
against another SSL library, this functionality is absent.

Pass a pointer to your callback function, which should match the prototype
shown above.

This callback function gets called by libcurl just before the initialization
of a SSL connection after having processed all other SSL related options to
give a last chance to an application to modify the behaviour of openssl's ssl
initialization. The \fIsslctx\fP parameter is actually a pointer to an openssl
\fISSL_CTX\fP. If an error is returned from the callback, no attempt to
establish a connection is made and the perform operation will return the error
code.  Set the \fIuserptr\fP argument with the \fICURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA(3)\fP
option.

This function will get called on all new connections made to a server, during
the SSL negotiation. The SSL_CTX pointer will be a new one every time.

To use this properly, a non-trivial amount of knowledge of the openssl
libraries is necessary. For example, using this function allows you to use
openssl callbacks to add additional validation code for certificates, and even
to change the actual URI of a HTTPS request (example used in the lib509 test
case).  See also the example section for a replacement of the key, certificate
and trust file settings.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL
.SH PROTOCOLS
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3, SMTPS etc.
.SH EXAMPLE
TODO
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.11.0. Only supported when built with OpenSSL.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
