How to perform a cURL request with a specific SSL/TLS version (e.g., TLS 1.2)?

To perform a cURL request with a specific SSL/TLS version, you can use the --tlsv1.2 flag followed by the URL you want to request. Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Open a command prompt or terminal.
  2. Type the following command, replacing [URL] with the actual URL you want to request: curl --tlsv1.2 [URL] This command explicitly sets the TLS version to 1.2. You can replace tlsv1.2 with other supported SSL/TLS versions like tlsv1, tlsv1.1, tlsv1.3, etc.
  3. Press Enter to execute the command.
  4. The cURL request will be sent with the specified SSL/TLS version, and the response will be displayed in the command prompt/terminal.
