# NAME

CURLOPT_DOH_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS - verify the DoH SSL certificate's status

# SYNOPSIS

~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DOH_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS,
                          long verify);
~~~

# DESCRIPTION

Pass a long as parameter set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable.

This option determines whether libcurl verifies the status of the DoH
(DNS-over-HTTPS) server cert using the "Certificate Status Request" TLS
extension (aka. OCSP stapling).

This option is the DoH equivalent of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS(3) and
only affects requests to the DoH server.

If this option is enabled and the server does not support the TLS extension,
the verification fails.

# DEFAULT

0

# %PROTOCOLS%

# EXAMPLE

~~~c
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DOH_URL,
                     "https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query");

    /* Ask for OCSP stapling when verifying the DoH server */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DOH_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS, 1L);

    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}
~~~

# %AVAILABILITY%

# RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see
libcurl-errors(3).
