changing SSL certificates to a different location

Question

Hi,

Currently we read from HTTPS using cURL. Everything works fine.

We set up certficates in curl as follows:

curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE,"PEM");
curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_SSLCERT,"/etc/ssl/certs/abc.cert.pem");

curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE,"PEM");
curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_SSLKEY,"/etc/ssl/certs/abc.key.pem");

Now we want to move these certificate files to a different directory. Even if I change the path in the commands above it does not work because I think the certificate path is hard coded as /etc/ssl in libcurl.

Based on googling I tried adding first,

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CAPATH, "/MyDir/");

and then the four lines with the correct relative path. It didnt work.

How to change the path (the directory where the certificates are stored) into something I want. Example or explanation will be appreciated.

Thanks

James
