 .TH CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR 3 "23 Feb 2016" "libcurl 7.48.0" "curl_easy_getinfo options"
 .SH NAME
 CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION, CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR \- get TLS session info
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .nf
 #include <curl/curl.h>

 CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR,
                            struct curl_tlssessioninfo **session);

 /* if you need compatibility with libcurl < 7.48.0 use
    CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION instead: */

 CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION,
                            struct curl_tlssessioninfo **session);
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *'.  The pointer will be
 initialized to refer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *' that will contain an
 enum indicating the SSL library used for the handshake and a pointer to the
 respective internal TLS session structure of this underlying SSL library.

 This option may be useful for example to extract certificate information in a
 format convenient for further processing, such as manual validation. Refer to
 the \fBLIMITATIONS\fP section.

 .nf
 struct curl_tlssessioninfo {
   curl_sslbackend backend;
   void *internals;
 };
 .fi

 The \fIbackend\fP struct member is one of the defines in the CURLSSLBACKEND_*
 series: CURLSSLBACKEND_NONE (when built without TLS support),
 CURLSSLBACKEND_WOLFSSL, CURLSSLBACKEND_DARWINSSL, CURLSSLBACKEND_GNUTLS,
 CURLSSLBACKEND_GSKIT, CURLSSLBACKEND_MBEDTLS, CURLSSLBACKEND_NSS,
 CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL, CURLSSLBACKEND_SCHANNEL or
 CURLSSLBACKEND_MESALINK. (Note that the OpenSSL forks are all reported as just
 OpenSSL here.)

 The \fIinternals\fP struct member will point to a TLS library specific pointer
 for the active ("in use") SSL connection, with the following underlying types:
 .RS
 .IP GnuTLS
 gnutls_session_t
 .IP gskit
 gsk_handle
 .IP NSS
 PRFileDesc *
 .IP OpenSSL
 CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION: SSL_CTX *

 CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR: SSL *
 .RE
 Since 7.48.0 the \fIinternals\fP member can point to these other SSL backends
 as well:
 .RS
 .IP mbedTLS
 mbedtls_ssl_context *
 .IP "Secure Channel"
 CtxtHandle *
 .IP "Secure Transport"
 SSLContext *
 .IP "wolfSSL"
 SSL *
 .IP "MesaLink"
 SSL *
 .RE

 If the \fIinternals\fP pointer is NULL then either the SSL backend is not
 supported, an SSL session has not yet been established or the connection is no
 longer associated with the easy handle (eg curl_easy_perform has returned).
 .SH LIMITATIONS
 This option has some limitations that could make it unsafe when it comes to
 the manual verification of certificates.

 This option only retrieves the first in-use SSL session pointer for your easy
 handle, however your easy handle may have more than one in-use SSL session if
 using FTP over SSL. That is because the FTP protocol has a control channel and
 a data channel and one or both may be over SSL. Currently there is no way to
 retrieve a second in-use SSL session associated with an easy handle.

 This option has not been thoroughly tested with plaintext protocols that can
 be upgraded/downgraded to/from SSL: FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP when used with
 \fICURLOPT_USE_SSL(3)\fP. Though you will be able to retrieve the SSL pointer,
 it's possible that before you can do that data (including auth) may have
 already been sent over a connection after it was upgraded.

 Renegotiation. If unsafe renegotiation or renegotiation in a way that the
 certificate is allowed to change is allowed by your SSL library this may occur
 and the certificate may change, and data may continue to be sent or received
 after renegotiation but before you are able to get the (possibly) changed SSL
 pointer, with the (possibly) changed certificate information.

 If you are using OpenSSL or wolfSSL then \fICURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION(3)\fP can
 be used to set a certificate verification callback in the CTX. That is safer
 than using this option to poll for certificate changes and doesn't suffer from
 any of the problems above. There is currently no way in libcurl to set a
 verification callback for the other SSL backends.

 How are you using this option? Are you affected by any of these limitations?

 .SH PROTOCOLS
 All TLS-based
 .SH EXAMPLE
 .nf
 #include <curl/curl.h>
 #include <openssl/ssl.h>

 CURL *curl;
 static size_t wf(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *stream)
 {
   const struct curl_tlssessioninfo *info = NULL;
   CURLcode res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR, &info);
   if(info && !res) {
     if(CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL == info->backend) {
        printf("OpenSSL ver. %s\\n", SSL_get_version((SSL*)info->internals));
     }
   }
   return size * nmemb;
 }

 int main(int argc, char** argv)
 {
   CURLcode res;
   curl = curl_easy_init();
   if(curl) {
     curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
     curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, wf);
     res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
     curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
   }
   return res;
 }
 .fi
 .SH AVAILABILITY
 Added in 7.48.0.

 This option supersedes \fICURLINFO_TLS_SESSION(3)\fP which was added in 7.34.0.
 This option is exactly the same as that option except in the case of OpenSSL.
 .SH RETURN VALUE
 Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
