With the same semantics as Apple SecTrust, in both libcurl and the curl tool, when using non-Schannel TLS backends. In practice it means that it makes TLS work without manually or implicitly configuring a CA bundle `.crt` file, such as `curl-ca-bundle.crt`. To enable: - autotools: `--enable-ca-native` - cmake: `-DCURL_CA_NATIVE=ON` - CPPFLAGS: `-DCURL_CA_NATIVE` When enabled: - enables `CURLSSLOPT_NATIVE_CA` (libcurl) / `--ca-native` and `--proxy-ca-native` (curl tool) options by default. - unsafe search for an on-disk CA bundle gets disabled by default. Equivalent to `--disable-ca-search` with autotools, `-DCURL_DISABLE_CA_SEARCH=ON` with CMake. - build-time detection of CA bundle and CA path gets disabled. As with Apple SecTrust. This was already the default for Windows. - native CA can be disabled at run-time with the `--no-ca-native` and/or `--no-proxy-ca-native` command-line options. Rationale: This build option: - has a repeat and active interest from packagers and users. - helps integrating curl with Windows for those who need this. - it also applies to macOS: #17525 Shipped in curl 8.17.0. - makes it trivial to use custom certs configured on the OS. - frees applications/packagers/users from the task of securely distributing, and keeping up-to-date, a CA bundle. - frees potentially many curl tool from configuring a CA bundle manually to access HTTPS (and other TLS) URLs. This is traditionally difficult on Windows because there is no concept of a universal, protected, non-world-writable, location on the file system to securely store a CA bundle. - allows using modern features regardless of Windows version. Some of these features are not supported with Schannel (e.g. HTTP/3, ECH) on any Windows version. - is necessary for HTTP/3 builds, where bootstrapping a CA bundle is not possible with Schannel, because MultiSSL is not an option, and HTTP/3 is not supported with Schannel.
