CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB - private key for client cert from memory blob

#include <curl/curl.h>

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

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 file name as input. NULL All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
 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");
 ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}

Added in 7.71.0. This option is supported by the OpenSSL backends. Returns CURLE_OK if TLS enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE "(3), " CURLOPT_SSLKEY "(3), "
