CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING(3)                     curl_easy_setopt options

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 will be disabled, if set to 1 it is enabled
       (default). libcurl does chunked transfer decoding by default unless
       this option is set to zero.

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

AVAILABILITY
       Added in 7.16.2 Does not work with the hyper backend (it will always
       have transfer decoding enabled).

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
       if not.
