CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING(3curl_easy_setopt optionCURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING(3)NAMECURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING - ask for HTTP Transfer Encoding
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING, long
enable);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long set to 1 to enable or 0 to disable.
Adds a request for compressed Transfer Encoding in the outgoing HTTP
request. If the server supports this and so desires, it can respond
with the HTTP response sent using a compressed Transfer-Encoding that
will be automatically uncompressed by libcurl on reception.
Transfer-Encoding differs slightly from the Content-Encoding you ask
for with CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3) in that a Transfer-Encoding is
strictly meant to be for the transfer and thus MUST be decoded before
the data arrives in the client. Traditionally, Transfer-Encoding has
been much less used and supported by both HTTP clients and HTTP
servers.
