CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING(3)

CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING3

Http content decoding control

Usage

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING,
                          long enabled);

Overview

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

HTTP

Examples

int main(void)
{
  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);
  }
}

Return value

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