According to the libcurl documentation [1], if you want to specify a
SSL certificate or key to the connection, the parameter must be a file
path rather than the certificate or key value: "Pass a pointer to a
zero terminated string as parameter. The string should be the file
name of your client certificate."
This makes it difficult to use ssl authenticated requests on an
embedded program where those options can come from various places (API
response, config file, self-generated, whatever). The only workaround
I find is to use mkstemp, which adds layers of complexity.
Would it be possible to add the possibility to pass the cert/key
content as well? By adding a new value to CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE for
example, like "PEM_DATA"?
I can work on a patch but I'd like to know first if the idea would be
accepted.
Gilles Vollant already has a work-in-progress pull request for this, I
think they are going to call it CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB. Please contribute
to the discussion at https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4371
