CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME

CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING - HTTP transfer decoding control

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING,

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long to tell libcurl how to act on transfer decoding. If set
to zero, transfer decoding is disabled, if set to 1 it is enabled
(default). libcurl does chunked transfer decoding by default unless
this option is set to zero.

DEFAULT
