note 71326 deleted from function.curl-setopt by datibbaw

Note Submitter: pyroevi at yahoo dot com ---- 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(): <?php curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); ?> This worked great, but I was required to verify, so here's what I did. Add the following lines: <?php curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1); curl_setopt($connection, 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.
