TLS: remove support for Secure Transport and BearSSL
These libraries do not support TLS 1.3 and have been marked for removal
for over a year. We want to help users select a TLS dependency that is
future-proof and reliable, and not supporting TLS 1.3 in 2025 does not
infer confidence. Users who build libcurl are likely to be served better
and get something more future-proof with a TLS library that supports
1.3.

# NAME
CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB - SSL client certificate from memory blob
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB,
struct curl_blob *stblob);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains (pointer and size) a
client certificate. The format must be "P12" on Schannel. The format must be
"P12" or "PEM" on OpenSSL. The format must be "DER" or "PEM" on mbedTLS. The
format must be specified with CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE(3).
If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob set to
CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer around after
setting this.
This option is an alternative to CURLOPT_SSLCERT(3) which instead
expects a filename as input.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
extern char *certificateData; /* point to data */
extern size_t filesize; /* size of data */
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
struct curl_blob stblob;
stblob.data = certificateData;
stblob.len = filesize;
stblob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB, &stblob);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE, "P12");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "s3cret");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see
libcurl-errors(3).
