CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION(3)

NAME
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION - TLS session info

SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION,
                           struct curl_tlssessioninfo **session);

DESCRIPTION
This option has been superseded by CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3). This option is exactly the same as CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) except in the case of OpenSSL and wolfSSL. If the session backend is CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL the session internals pointer varies depending on the option:

OpenSSL
    CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION(3) OpenSSL session internals is SSL_CTX *. CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) OpenSSL session internals is SSL *. You can obtain an SSL_CTX pointer from an SSL pointer using OpenSSL function SSL_get_SSL_CTX(3). Therefore unless you need compatibility with older versions of libcurl use CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3). Refer to that document for more information.

wolfSSL
    CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION(3) wolfSSL session internals is WOLFSSL_CTX *. CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) wolfSSL session internals is WOLFSSL *. You can obtain an WOLFSSL_CTX pointer from an SSL pointer using wolfSSL function wolfSSL_get_SSL_CTX(3). Therefore unless you need compatibility with older versions of libcurl use CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3). Refer to that document for more information.

PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc. This option works only with the following TLS backends: GnuTLS and OpenSSL

EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    struct curl_tlssessioninfo *tls;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(result != CURLE_OK)
      printf("error: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(result));
    curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION, &tls);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

DEPRECATED
Deprecated since 7.48.0

AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.34.0

RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
