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

NOTES¶

This option does not work with the hyper backend as that always has transfer decoding enabled.

DEFAULT¶

1

PROTOCOLS¶

This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE¶

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_TRANSFER_DECODING, 0L);


    ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);


  }
}

AVAILABILITY¶

Added in curl 7.16.2

RETURN VALUE¶

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