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  out-
     going  HTTP  request.  If  the  server  supports this and so
     desires, it can respond with the HTTP response sent using  a
     compressed  Transfer-Encoding  that  will  be  automatically
     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 arrives in the
     client. Traditionally, Transfer-Encoding has been much  less
     used and supported by both HTTP clients and HTTP servers.
