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.

NOTES

       This option does not work with the hyper backend as that always has transfer decoding enabled.

DEFAULT

       1

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

           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);
         }
       }
