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

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING, 0L);
