- When downloading compressed content over HTTP and the app as asked libcurl
to automatically uncompress it with the CURLOPT_ENCODING option, libcurl could wrongly provide the callback with more data than what the maximum documented amount. An application could thus get tricked into badness if the maximum limit was trusted to be enforced by libcurl itself (as it is documented). This is further detailed and explained in the libcurl security advisory 20100209 at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20100209.html
