CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST(3)                            curl_easy_setopt options

NAME
       CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST - specify ciphers to use for TLS

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST, char
       *list);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a char *, pointing to a null-terminated string holding the list of
       ciphers to use for the SSL connection. The list must be syntactically
       correct, it consists of one or more cipher strings separated by colons.
       Commas or spaces are also acceptable separators but colons are normally
       used, !, - and + can be used as operators.

       For OpenSSL and GnuTLS valid examples of cipher lists include
       'RC4-SHA', 'SHA1+DES', 'TLSv1' and 'DEFAULT'. The default list is
       normally set when you compile OpenSSL.

       You'll find more details about cipher lists on this URL:

        https://curl.se/docs/ssl-ciphers.html

       For NSS, valid examples of cipher lists include 'rsa_rc4_128_md5',
       'rsa_aes_128_sha', etc. With NSS you don't add/remove ciphers. If one
       uses this option then all known ciphers are disabled and only those
       passed in are enabled.

       For WolfSSL, valid examples of cipher lists include 'ECDHE-RSA-
       RC4-SHA', 'AES256-SHA:AES256-SHA256', etc.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
       this option.

DEFAULT
       NULL, use internal default

PROTOCOLS
       All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST, "TLSv1");
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       If built TLS enabled.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
       CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
