# rootcerts
Functions for loading root certificates for TLS connections.
-----
Go's standard library `crypto/tls` provides a common mechanism for configuring
TLS connections in `tls.Config`. The `RootCAs` field on this struct is a pool
of certificates for the client to use as a trust store when verifying server
certificates.
This library contains utility functions for loading certificates destined for
that field, as well as one other important thing:
When the `RootCAs` field is `nil`, the standard library attempts to load the
host's root CA set. This behavior is OS-specific, and the Darwin
implementation contains [a bug that prevents trusted certificates from the
System and Login keychains from being loaded][1]. This library contains
Darwin-specific behavior that works around that bug.

## Example Usage
Here's a snippet demonstrating how this library is meant to be used:
```go
func httpClient() (*http.Client, error)
tlsConfig := &tls.Config{}
err := rootcerts.ConfigureTLS(tlsConfig, &rootcerts.Config{
CAFile: os.Getenv("MYAPP_CAFILE"),
CAPath: os.Getenv("MYAPP_CAPATH"),
})
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
c := cleanhttp.DefaultClient()
t := cleanhttp.DefaultTransport()
t.TLSClientConfig = tlsConfig
c.Transport = t
return c, nil
}
```
