CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING(3) libcurl CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING(3)
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
 0
PROTOCOLS
 HTTP
EXAMPLE
 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
 if(curl) {
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

 curl_easy_perform(curl);
 }
AVAILABILITY
 Added in 7.21.6
RETURN VALUE
 Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
 if not.
