CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING(3)                      Library Functions Manual

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. If set to 1 it is enabled. Libcurl
       has no default content decoding but requires you to use
       CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3) for that.

DEFAULT
       1

PROTOCOLS
       HTTP

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_CONTENT_DECODING, 0L);
           ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in 7.16.2
