Result
Returns number or error.
Description
Read certificate from system and installs them in CURL session,.For macOS and Windows we load the available certificates from keychain or Windows Certificate Store and pass them to CURL. This is better than having no certificates at all.
Even better is normally to provide a cacert.pem file with only the expected certificates.
Returns number of certificates loaded.
Examples
Enable system certificates:
Set Variable [$result; Value:MBS("CURL.UseSystemCertificates"; $curl)]
Set Variable [$result; Value:MBS("CURL.SetOptionSSLVerifyPeer"; $curl; 1)]
Set Variable [$result; Value:MBS("CURL.SetOptionSSLVerifyHost"; $curl; 2 )]
Do download with TLS and system certificates:
# Start new session
Set Variable [ $curl ; Value: MBS("CURL.New") ]
# Set URL to load (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, etc.)
Set Variable [ $result ; Value: MBS("CURL.SetOptionURL"; $curl; CURL Test::URL) ]
# Use system certificate store for TLS
Set Variable [ $result ; Value: MBS( "CURL.UseSystemCertificates"; $curl ) ]
# RUN now
Set Field [ CURL Test::Result ; MBS("CURL.Perform"; $curl) ]
# Check result
Set Field [ CURL Test::Text ; MBS("CURL.GetResultAsText"; $curl; "UTF8") ]
Set Field [ CURL Test::debug ; MBS("CURL.GetDebugMessages"; $curl) ]
# Cleanup
Set Variable [ $result ; Value: MBS("CURL.Release"; $curl) ]
