note 71326 added to ref.curl

I was working on using php to interface with an authorize.net gateway, and I ran into a problem with certificates using curl to talk the https:// url. curl_error() told me "SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK." I googled it and found the same "solution" over and over again: bypass verification by adding this line after curl_init(): curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); This worked great, but I was required to verify, so here's what I did. Add the following lines: curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1); curl_setopt($AuthNetConn, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "path:/ca-bundle.crt"); with "path:/ca-bundle.crt" being the path to that certificate file. You can get this file by downloading the curl package (http://curl.haxx.se/download.html) and looking for it in the lib folder. Feel free to email me. ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 74.138.184.110 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71326 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71326/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71326/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71326/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71326/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71326/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71326/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71326 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71326 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
