Description
Sets the certificate directory.Pass a string naming a directory holding multiple CA certificates to verify the peer with. The certificate directory must be prepared using the openssl c_rehash utility. This makes sense only when used in combination with the CURL.SetOptionVerifyPeer option. If CURL.SetOptionVerifyPeer is zero, CURL.SetOptionCAPATH need not even indicate an accessible path. The CURL.SetOptionCAPath function apparently does not work in Windows due to some limitation in openssl. This option is OpenSSL-specific and does nothing if libcurl is built to use GnuTLS.
Starting with version 8.0 the plugin will always use UTF-8 encoding for file path on Linux and macOS. For macOS we also do the unicode character normalization for file names for you.
