CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING - HTTP content decoding control

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING,

long enabled);

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.
