.SH NAME
CURLOPT_SSLVERSION \- set preferred TLS/SSL version
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, long version);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter to control which version of SSL/TLS to attempt to
use.

Use one of the available defines for this purpose. The available options are:
.RS
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT
The default action. This will attempt to figure out the remote SSL protocol
version.
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1
TLSv1.x
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv2
SSLv2
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv3
SSLv3
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_0
TLSv1.0 (Added in 7.34.0)
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_1
TLSv1.1 (Added in 7.34.0)
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2
TLSv1.2 (Added in 7.34.0)
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_3
TLSv1.3 (Added in 7.52.0)
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_DEFAULT
The flag defines the maximum supported TLS version as TLSv1.2, or the default
value from the SSL library. Only the NSS library currently allows one to get
the maximum supported TLS version.
(Added in 7.54.0)
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_0
The flag defines maximum supported TLS version as TLSv1.0.
(Added in 7.54.0)
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_1
The flag defines maximum supported TLS version as TLSv1.1.
(Added in 7.54.0)
.IP CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_2
The flag defines maximum supported TLS version as TLSv1.2.
(Added in 7.54.0)

.nf
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

  /* ask libcurl to use TLS version 1.1 or later */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_1 |
                   CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_DEFAULT);

  /* Perform the request */
  curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
