CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING(3) | Library Functions Manual | CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING(3) |
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 is 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.
DEFAULT¶
0
PROTOCOLS¶
HTTP
EXAMPLE¶
int main(void) {
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING, 1L);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
} }
AVAILABILITY¶
Added in 7.21.6
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
