NAME

       CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING - HTTP transfer decoding control

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

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

       1

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode ret;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING, 0L);
           ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       enabled).
