NAME
       CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER - verify the proxy's SSL certificate

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode  curl_easy_setopt(CURL  *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER,
       long verify);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a long as parameter set to 1L to enable or 0L to disable.

       This option tells curl  to  verifies  the  authenticity  of  the  HTTPS
       proxy's  certificate.  A value of 1 means curl verifies; 0 (zero) means
       it doesn't.

       This is the proxy version of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) that's used  for
       ordinary HTTPS servers.

       When  negotiating  a TLS or SSL connection, the server sends a certifi-
       cate indicating its identity. Curl verifies whether the certificate  is
       authentic,  i.e. that you can trust that the server is who the certifi-
       cate says it is.  This trust is based on a chain of digital signatures,
       rooted  in  certification authority (CA) certificates you supply.  curl
       uses a default bundle of CA certificates (the path for that  is  deter-
       mined  at  build  time) and you can specify alternate certificates with
       the  CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO(3)  option  or  the   CURLOPT_PROXY_CAPATH(3)
       option.

       When  CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)  is enabled, and the verification
       fails to prove that the certificate is authentic, the connection fails.
       When  the  option  is  zero, the peer certificate verification succeeds
       regardless.

       Authenticating the certificate is not  enough  to  be  sure  about  the
       server. You typically also want to ensure that the server is the server
       you mean to be talking  to.   Use  CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3)  for
       that.  The check that the host name in the certificate is valid for the
       host name you're connecting  to  is  done  independently  of  the  CUR-
       LOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) option.

       WARNING:  disabling  verification of the certificate allows bad guys to
       man-in-the-middle the communication without you knowing  it.  Disabling
       verification  makes  the communication insecure. Just having encryption
       on a transfer is not enough as you cannot be sure that you are communi-
       cating with the correct end-point.
