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. Libcurl has no default content decoding but
     requires you to use CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3) for that.

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