# GoCertifi: SSL Certificates for Golang
This Go package contains a CA bundle that you can reference in your Go code.
This is useful for systems that do not have CA bundles that Golang can find
itself, or where a uniform set of CAs is valuable.
This is the same CA bundle that ships with the
[Python Requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests) library, and is a
Golang specific port of [certifi](https://github.com/kennethreitz/certifi). The
CA bundle is derived from Mozilla's canonical set.
## Usage
You can use the `gocertifi` package as follows:
```go
import "github.com/certifi/gocertifi"
certPool, err := gocertifi.CACerts()
```
You can use the returned `*x509.CertPool` as part of an HTTP transport, for example:
```go
import (
"net/http"
"crypto/tls"
)
// Setup an HTTP client with a custom transport
transport := &http.Transport{
Proxy: ProxyFromEnvironment,
DialContext: (&net.Dialer{
Timeout: 30 * time.Second,
KeepAlive: 30 * time.Second,
DualStack: true,
}).DialContext,
ForceAttemptHTTP2: true,
MaxIdleConns: 100,
IdleConnTimeout: 90 * time.Second,
TLSHandshakeTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
ExpectContinueTimeout: 1 * time.Second,
}
// or, starting with go1.13 simply use:
// transport := http.DefaultTransport.(*http.Transport).Clone()
transport.TLSClientConfig = &tls.Config{RootCAs: certPool}
client := &http.Client{Transport: transport}
// Make an HTTP request using our custom transport
resp, err := client.Get("https://example.com")
```
## Detailed Documentation
Import as follows:
```go
import "github.com/certifi/gocertifi"
```
### Functions
```go
func CACerts() (*x509.CertPool, error)
```
CACerts builds an X.509 certificate pool containing the Mozilla CA Certificate
bundle. This can't actually error and always returns successfully with `nil`
as the error. This will be replaced in `v2` to only return the `CertPool`.
