CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING - HTTP content decoding control
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING,
long enabled);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long to tell libcurl how to act on content decoding. If set to
zero, content decoding will be disabled. If set to 1 it is enabled.

LOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3) for that.
DEFAULT
1
PROTOCOLS
HTTP
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode ret;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING, 0L);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
