docs/libcurl: add TLS backend info for all TLS options
All man pages that are listed to be for TLS now must also specify
exactly what TLS backends the option works for, or use All if they all
work.

cd2nroff makes sure this is done and that the listed backends exist.

Closes #13168

NAME

CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB - private key for client cert from memory blob

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB,
                          struct curl_blob *blob);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains information (pointer and size) for a private key. Compatible with OpenSSL. The format (like "PEM") must be specified with CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE(3).

If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob set to CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer around after setting this.

This option is an alternative to CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) which instead expects a filename as input.

DEFAULT

NULL

PROTOCOLS

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

EXAMPLE


extern char *certificateData; /* point to cert */
extern size_t filesize; /* size of cert */

extern char *privateKeyData; /* point to key */
extern size_t privateKeySize; /* size of key */

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    struct curl_blob blob;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    blob.data = certificateData;
    blob.len = filesize;
    blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB, &blob);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, "PEM");

    blob.data = privateKeyData;
    blob.len = privateKeySize;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB, &blob);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE, "PEM");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.71.0. This option is supported by the OpenSSL backends.

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if TLS enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
