cPanel API 2 Functions - SSL::fetchcabundle

Warning:

The cPanel API 2 system is deprecated. We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2.


Description

This function retrieves a certificate's Certificate Authority (CA) bundle.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use the following UAPI function instead of this function:

  • SSL::get_cabundle — This function retrieves a certificate's CA bundle and hostname.

Note:

Due to the limited field length of HTTP GET method calls, you must use the HTTP POST method. For this reason, you cannot use the WHM API method to call this function.


Important:

When you disable the Calendars and Contacts, Receive Mail, Web Disk, Webmail, and Web Server roles, the system disables this function.


Examples
