23 .TH CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
25 CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING \- ask for HTTP Transfer Encoding
27 #include <curl/curl.h>
29 CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING, long enable);
31 Pass a long set to 1 to \fIenable\fP or 0 to disable.
33 Adds a request for compressed Transfer Encoding in the outgoing HTTP
34 request. If the server supports this and so desires, it can respond with the
35 HTTP response sent using a compressed Transfer-Encoding that will be
36 automatically uncompressed by libcurl on reception.
38 Transfer-Encoding differs slightly from the Content-Encoding you ask for with
39 \fBCURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3)\fP in that a Transfer-Encoding is strictly meant
40 to be for the transfer and thus MUST be decoded before the data arrives in the
41 client. Traditionally, Transfer-Encoding has been much less used and supported
42 by both HTTP clients and HTTP servers.
52 Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
