CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING3
Http transfer decoding control
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING,
long enabled);
Overview
Pass a long to tell libcurl how to act on transfer decoding. If set to zero, transfer decoding is 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
This functionality affects http only

CURLcode result;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING, 0L);
result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}

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