.SH NAME

libcurl\-env \- environment variables libcurl understands
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
libcurl reads and understands a set of environment variables that if set
|
|
|
|
controls and changes behaviors. This is the full list of variables to set and
|
|
|
|
description of what they do. Also note that curl, the command line tool,
|
|
|
|
supports a set of additional environment variables independently of this.
|
|
|
|
.IP [scheme]_proxy
|
|
|
|
When libcurl is given a URL to use in a transfer, it first extracts the scheme
|
|
|
|
part from the URL and checks if there is a given proxy set for that in its
|
|
|
|
corresponding environment variable. A URL like https://example.com makes
|
|
|
|
libcurl use the \fBhttp_proxy\fP variable, while a URL like ftp://example.com
|
|
|
|
uses the \fBftp_proxy\fP variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These proxy variables are also checked for in their uppercase versions, except
|
|
|
|
the \fBhttp_proxy\fP one which is only used lowercase. Note also that some
|
|
|
|
systems actually have a case insensitive handling of environment variables and
|
|
|
|
then of course \fBHTTP_PROXY\fP still works.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
An exception exists for the WebSocket \fBws\fP and \fBwss\fP URL schemes, where
|
|
|
|
libcurl first checks \fBws_proxy\fP or \fBwss_proxy\fP but if they are not set, it
|
|
|
|
falls back and tries the http and https versions instead if set.
|

|
|
|
.IP ALL_PROXY
|
|
|
|
This is a setting to set proxy for all URLs, independently of what scheme is
|
|
|
|
being used. Note that the scheme specific variables overrides this one if set.
|
|
|
|
.IP CURL_SSL_BACKEND
|
|
|
|
When libcurl is built to support multiple SSL backends, it selects a specific
|
|
|
|
backend at first use. If no selection is done by the program using libcurl,
|
|
|
|
this variable\(aqs selection is used. Setting a name that is not a built\-in
|
|
|
|
alternative makes libcurl stay with the default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SSL backend names (case\-insensitive): BearSSL, GnuTLS, mbedTLS,
|
|
|
|
nss, OpenSSL, rustls, Schannel, Secure\-Transport, wolfSSL
|
|
|
|
.IP HOME
|
|
|
|
When the netrc feature is used (\fICURLOPT_NETRC(3)\fP), this variable is
|
|
|
|
checked as the primary way to find the "current" home directory in which
|
|
|
|
the .netrc file is likely to exist.
|
|
|
|
.IP USERPROFILE
|
|
|
|
When the netrc feature is used (\fICURLOPT_NETRC(3)\fP), this variable is
|
|
|
|
checked as the secondary way to find the "current" home directory (on Windows
|
|
|
|
only) in which the .netrc file is likely to exist.
|
|
|
|
.IP LOGNAME
|
2024-03-30 12:28:04 -06:00
|
|
|
Username to use when invoking the \fIntlm\-wb\fP tool, if \fINTLMUSER\fP was
|
2024-03-15 20:55:33 -06:00
|
|
|
not set.
|
|
|
|
.IP NO_PROXY
|
|
|
|
This has the same functionality as the \fICURLOPT_NOPROXY(3)\fP option: it
|
|
|
|
gives libcurl a comma\-separated list of hostname patterns for which libcurl
|
|
|
|
should not use a proxy.
|
|
|
|
.IP NTLMUSER
|
2024-03-30 12:28:04 -06:00
|
|
|
Username to use when invoking the \fIntlm\-wb\fP tool.
|
2024-03-15 20:55:33 -06:00
|
|
|
.IP SSLKEYLOGFILE
|
|
|
|
When set and libcurl runs with a SSL backend that supports this feature,
|
|
|
|
libcurl saves SSL secrets into the given filename. Using those SSL secrets,
|
|
|
|
other tools (such as Wireshark) can decrypt the SSL communication and
|
|
|
|
analyze/view the traffic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These secrets and this file might be sensitive. Users are advised to take
|
|
|
|
precautions so that they are not stolen or otherwise inadvertently revealed.
|
|
|
|
.IP USER
|
2024-03-30 12:28:04 -06:00
|
|
|
Username to use when invoking the \fIntlm\-wb\fP tool, if \fINTLMUSER\fP and \fILOGNAME\fP
|
|
|
|
were not set.
