CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME

CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING - HTTP content decoding control

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING,
long enabled);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long to tell libcurl how to act on content decoding. If set to
zero, content decoding is disabled. If set to 1 it is enabled.
libcurl has no default content decoding but requires you to use
CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3) for that.
