CURLOPT_TR...ER_ENCODING(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_TR...ER_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 re- quest. If the server supports this and so desires, it can respond with the HTTP response sent using a compressed Transfer-Encoding that is automati- cally 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 ar- rives in the client. Traditionally, Transfer-Encoding has been much less used and supported by both HTTP clients and HTTP servers. DEFAULT 0 PROTOCOLS This functionality affects http only EXAMPLE int main(void) { CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode result; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING, 1L); result = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.21.6 RETURN VALUE curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
