NAME

CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION - read callback for HSTS hosts

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
struct curl_hstsentry {


  char *name;


  size_t namelen;


  unsigned int includeSubDomains:1;


  char expire[18]; /* YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS [null-terminated] */
};
CURLSTScode hstsread(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts, void *clientp);
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION, hstsread);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to your callback function, as the prototype shows above.

This callback function gets called by libcurl repeatedly when it populates the in-memory HSTS cache.

Set the clientp argument with the CURLOPT_HSTSREADDATA(3) option or it will be NULL.

When this callback is invoked, the sts pointer points to a populated struct: Copy the host name to name (no longer than namelen bytes). Make it null-terminated. Set includeSubDomains to TRUE or FALSE. Set expire to a date stamp or a zero length string for *forever* (wrong date stamp format might cause the name to not get accepted)

The callback should return CURLSTS_OK if it returns a name and is prepared to be called again (for another host) or CURLSTS_DONE if it has no entry to return. It can also return CURLSTS_FAIL to signal error. Returning CURLSTS_FAIL will stop the transfer from being performed and make CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK get returned.

This option does not enable HSTS, you need to use CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3) to do that.

DEFAULT

NULL - no callback.

PROTOCOLS

This feature is only used for HTTP(S) transfer.

EXAMPLE

{


  /* set HSTS read callback */


  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION, hstsread);


  /* pass in suitable argument to the callback */


  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSREADDATA, &hstspreload[0]);


  result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.74.0

RETURN VALUE

This will return CURLE_OK.
