CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING(3)    libcurl   CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING(3)

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 will be 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
       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);
       }
