php curl: SSL_VERIFYPEER option doesn't have effect
curl, php, ssl
Solution
Add the option `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST`
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
I realized, that the english version of the PHP documentation missing this important information:
(translated from the german version of the PHP manual)
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST has to be set to true or false if CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER has been deactivated.
Problem
I've got this piece of code to launch queries with curl: ``` function curl_query($full_url, $username, $password, $payload) { $additionalHeaders = ""; $process = curl_init($full_url); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', $additionalHeaders)); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ":" . $password); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 4); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); $return = curl_exec($process); if ($return === false) { error_log("CURL error ".curl_error($process)); } return $return; } ``` The option CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is set to false so I can read pages with self-signed certificates. However when I execute this code against an https URL I get an error: ``` CURL error SSL: certificate subject name 'localhost' does not match target host name '192.168.1.1', ``` I run this code on a CentOS 5 server with php53 package installed. Thanks in advance
