NAME
       CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING - enable/disable HTTP content decoding

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.

       _ACCEPT_ENCODING&section=3">CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3) for that.

DEFAULT
       1

PROTOCOLS

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING, 0L);
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }
