Dear, I am trying to obtain the fingerprint of a SSH-host (to be used in subsequent SFTP connections) through libcurl. Libcurl allows access to the servers public key through the CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION. Unfortunately this option seems not yet to be implemented. I have created a patch for WWW-Curl-4.14 that implements the CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA options. In attachment you can find the patch and a test script in perl that will return the server fingerprint. Would you please consider including this patch in the distribution or include similar functionality in the perl library? Thank you Karsten P.S. My apologies for abusing the Bug-email address but I did not find a better suited contact method.

Message body is not shown because sender requested not to inline it.

Hey Karsten, I will integrate this functionality in the next release of WWW::Curl. Unfortunately it didn't make it into 4.15. Regards, Bálint
