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.

       CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3) for that.

           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
