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

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_TRANSFER_DECODING, 0L);
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in 7.16.2 Does not work with the hyper backend  (it  will  always
       have transfer decoding enabled).

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