CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING 3 "May 15, 2017" "libcurl 7.64.1" "curl_easy_setopt options"
NAME
CURLOPT_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 1L 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.
DEFAULT
