CURLOPT_SSLVERSION(3)               libcurl              CURLOPT_SSLVERSION(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_SSLVERSION - preferred TLS/SSL version

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, long version);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a long as parameter to control which version range of SSL/TLS ver-
       sions to use.

       The SSL and TLS versions have typically developed from the  most  inse-
       cure  version to be more and more secure in this order through history:
       SSL v2, SSLv3, TLS v1.0, TLS v1.1, TLS v1.2 and  the  most  recent  TLS
       v1.3.

       Use  one  of  the  available  defines  for  this purpose. The available
       options are:

              CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT
                     The default acceptable version range. The minimum accept-
                     able  version is by default TLS v1.0 since 7.39.0 (unless
                     the TLS library has a stricter rule).

              CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1
                     TLS v1.0 or later

              CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv2
                     SSL v2 - refused

              CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv3
                     SSL v3 - refused

              CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_0
                     TLS v1.0 or later (Added in 7.34.0)

              CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_1
                     TLS v1.1 or later (Added in 7.34.0)

              CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2
                     TLS v1.2 or later (Added in 7.34.0)

              CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_3
                     TLS v1.3 or later (Added in 7.52.0)

       The maximum TLS version can be set by using  one  of  the  CURL_SSLVER-
       SION_MAX_  macros  below.  It  is  also  possible  to  OR  one  of  the
       CURL_SSLVERSION_ macros with one of  the  CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_  macros.
       The MAX macros are not supported for WolfSSL.

              CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_DEFAULT
                     The  flag  defines  the  maximum supported TLS version by
                     libcurl, or the default value from  the  SSL  library  is
                     used.  libcurl uses a sensible default maximum, which was
                     TLS v1.2 up to before 7.61.0 and is TLS v1.3 since then -
                     assuming the TLS library support it. (Added in 7.54.0)

              CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_0
                     The  flag  defines  maximum  supported TLS version as TLS
                     v1.0.  (Added in 7.54.0)

              CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_1
                     The flag defines maximum supported  TLS  version  as  TLS
                     v1.1.  (Added in 7.54.0)

              CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_2
                     The  flag  defines  maximum  supported TLS version as TLS
                     v1.2.  (Added in 7.54.0)

              CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_3
                     The flag defines maximum supported  TLS  version  as  TLS
                     v1.3.  (Added in 7.54.0)

       In  versions of curl prior to 7.54 the CURL_SSLVERSION_TLS options were
       documented to allow only the specified TLS version,  but  behavior  was
       inconsistent depending on the TLS library.

DEFAULT
       CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT

PROTOCOLS
       All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

         /* ask libcurl to use TLS version 1.0 or later */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, (long)CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1);

         /* Perform the request */
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       SSLv2 and SSLv3 are refused completely since curl 7.77.0

       SSLv2  is  disabled  by default since 7.18.1. Other SSL versions avail-
       ability may vary depending on which backend libcurl has been  built  to
       use.

       SSLv3 is disabled by default since 7.39.0.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns  CURLE_OK  if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
       if not.
