How to configure curl parameters in Mink?

Question

I am trying to bring Behat to a https secured project and mink fails when initiating curl request.

Scenario: Loggin in                              # features/debt.feature:6
    Given I am on "/"                              # FeatureContext::visit()
      [curl] 51: SSL: certificate subject name 'ubuntu' does not match target host name 'wizard' [url] https://wizard/admin/dev.php/ [info] array (
        'url' => 'https://wizard/admin/dev.php/',
        'content_type' => NULL,
        'http_code' => 0,
        'header_size' => 0,
        'request_size' => 0,
        'filetime' => -1,
        'ssl_verify_result' => 1,
        'redirect_count' => 0,

        'size_upload' => 0,
        'size_download' => 0,
        'speed_download' => 0,
        'speed_upload' => 0,
        'download_content_length' => -1,

        'starttransfer_time' => 0,
        'redirect_time' => 0,
        'certinfo' => 
        array (
        ),
      ) [debug] * About to connect() to wizard port 443 (#0)
      *   Trying 127.0.0.1... * connected

      * SSL: certificate subject name 'ubuntu' does not match target host name 'wizard'
      * Closing connection #0

The problem can be solved by setting these 2 curl parameters:

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER = false
CURLOPT_CERTINFO = false

I know that Mink is internally uses guzzle, which initiates curl requests. How do I correctly instantiate guzzle client with curl options?

Yes, it's known problem and the only solution for now is something like this in your behat.yml:

default:
    paths:
        features: .
        bootstrap: %behat.paths.features%/bootstrap    
    extensions:
        Behat\MinkExtension\Extension:
            base_url: http://yourhost/
            goutte:
                guzzle_parameters:
                    ssl.certificate_authority: system
                    curl.options:
                        64: false   # CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER
                        172: false  # CURLOPT_CERTINFO
