Ssl::verify_certificate( string|WpOrgRequestsStringable $host, array $cert )

Verify the certificate against common name and subject alternative names


Description

Unfortunately, PHP doesn’t check the certificate against the alternative names, leading things like ‘https://www.github.com/‘ to be invalid.


Parameters

$host

(Required) Host name to verify against

$cert

(Required) Certificate data from openssl_x509_parse()


Return

(bool)
