In the HTTPS world, you use certificates to validate that you are the one
you you claim to be, as an addition to normal passwords. Curl supports
- client-side certificates. All certificates are locked with a PIN-code, why
- you need to enter the unlock-code before the certificate can be used by
- curl. The PIN-code can be specified on the command line or if not, entered
- interactively when curl queries for it. Use a certificate with curl on a
- HTTPS server like:
+ client-side certificates. All certificates are locked with a pass phrase,
+ which you need to enter before the certificate can be used by curl. The pass
+ phrase can be specified on the command line or if not, entered interactively
+ when curl queries for it. Use a certificate with curl on a HTTPS server
+ like:
curl -E mycert.pem https://that.secure.server.com
