NAME

       CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING - ask for HTTP Transfer Encoding

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING, long enable);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a long set to 1L to enable or 0 to disable.

       Adds a request for compressed Transfer Encoding in the outgoing HTTP request. If the server supports this
       and so desires, it can respond with the HTTP response sent using a compressed Transfer-Encoding that will
       be automatically uncompressed by libcurl on reception.

       Transfer-Encoding  differs slightly from the Content-Encoding you ask for with CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3)
       in that a Transfer-Encoding is strictly meant to be for the transfer and thus MUST be decoded before  the
       data  arrives  in  the  client. Traditionally, Transfer-Encoding has been much less used and supported by
       both HTTP clients and HTTP servers.
