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

This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode result;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING, 0L);
result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.16.2

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
