Hi, Is it possible to override the hostname validation for SSL certificates? I have 2 servers with the same hostname (Primary & Standby) but different IP Addresses. My application needs to poll a test page on both servers to check their status, To do this I have to specify the IP address instead of the hostname in the URL. e.g. curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://x.x.x.x/test.html";);
When using the IP address in the URL the following error gets returned after calling curl_easy_perform(...) * SSL: certificate subject name 'myserver.test.com' does not match target host name '192.168.x.x' * Closing connection #0 * SSL peer certificate was not ok curl_easy_perform() failed: SSL peer certificate was not ok I can solve this error by turning of the hostname validation using CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST but this would not be adequate for out security requirements. What I would like to know is can I send a request to a specific IP address and still verity the certificate contains the expect hostname? I am using CURL version 7.15.5 Thanks Pete
